Automated Local Coordinate Aperture Photometry with PythonPhot.ipynb
- This Jupyter notebook is intended to be used for local coordinate aperture photometry for input to the AAVSO DSLR photometry reduction data worksheet (see Supplementary material section of https://www.aavso.org/dslr-observing-manual).
- Uses the PythonPhot library for photometry.
modify-fits-header.py
-
This script modifies the FITS header of the supplied files in various ways, such as to correct time using a timezone offset, MIDPOINT, JD, RA, Dec, calibration status, filter, object name and so on.
-
It also makes the FITS header minimally VPhot compliant by changing the the DATE-OBS keyword's value to be in ISO 8601 format (and removing the UT-START keyword since its value is included in the modified DATE-OBS). Calibration status, airmass, exposure time, filter, RA & Dec, and object name can also be modified.
-
This script is dependent upon the astropy package. One easy way to get this is to install a scientific Python distribution such as Anaconda.
zeros-and-offset.py
-
This script removes leading zeros from file names in the current directory, subtracts an optional offset value from the sequence number in each, and copies the file to a temporary directory.
-
This simple script was written for conversion of Canon (1100D) RAW file names to a form suitable for processing by IRIS batch commands such as "convertraw".
radec2deg.py
-
This simple script converts RA and Dec in degrees to sexagisimal format.
-
RA and Dec are expected to be the first and second command-line arguments.
