Overview

lco_etc is a Python package designed to calculate exposure times for the Las Cumbres Observatory Telescopes. The original exposure time calculator was implemented as a webpage at LCO Exposure Time Calculator and adapted to Python by rewriting the embedded JavaScript code. This Python adaptation provides a programmatic interface for calculating exposure times, making it accessible for automation and integration into other Python-based workflows.
