mjo_staralt

Scripts to make a quick visibility plot for a given static target. Adapted from Aayushi Verma's code NEOExchange-Observations-Planner.

You can pip install mjo_staralt as:

pip install git+https://github.com/CheerfulUser/mjo_staralt.git

Once it is successfully installed, the visibility curve can be plotted for any target with just:

from mjo_staralt import mjo_vis
mjo_vis(ra=44,dec=-11,date='2021-12-03')

If no date is provided then it defaults to the current date.

Scripts can also be run through the commandline with mjo_alt.py which takes arguments of ra, dec, and date in the format of 'YYYY-mm-dd'. If a date is not specified then the current date is used.

Currently the output time is in reference to NZ local time, so might break if used in another timezone...
