Observation planning and finding charts for ULTRASPEC

uspec_finder provides a Python script usfinder for observation planning with ULTRASPEC on the Thai National Telescope. It allows you to generate finding charts as well as specify the instrument setup you require, whilst providing an estimate of observing cadence, exposure time and S/N estimates.

uspec_finder is written in Python and is based on TKinter. It should be compatible with Python2 and Python3, but is only tested on Python3.

Installation

The software is written as much as possible to make use of core Python components. It requires my own hcam_widgets module. It also relies on the third party libraries astropy for astronomical calculations and catalog lookup, as well as ginga for image display. Optionally, you can also use astroquery to expand the range of surveys one can download images from.

Installing using pip should take care of these dependencies. Simply install with:

pip install uspec_finder

or if you don’t have root access:

sudo pip install uspec_finder

or:

pip install --user uspec_finder
