create ESO observing blocks from the command line
Project description
Brief intro
Purpose
Create ESO observing blocks from a list of targets either specified in the command line or in a file. Instrument supported: WFI, FEROS, GROND at 2.2m telescope.
Installation
It is packaged as obkreator.
Site-wide installation will be performed with sudo -H pip3 install obkreator
on unix-like systems. At a user level, within a virtual environment, pip3 install obkreator
.
Short examples
Create FEROS OBs with 2 × 10 min integrations for a few SIMBAD targets.
> mkfrsob --target "HD 10" "HD 20" "HD 30" --objcal --dit 600 --nint 2 --pid '0107.A-9032(A)'
0107.A-9032(A): 2.2/FEROS observations by GREDEL, R
Coordinates have been queried from SIMBAD
