I recommend adding the folder to your PATH vairable. This way you will be able to use the scripts anywhere. To do this depends on your shell.

Common for all (I think) is that you need to edit the rc file, e.g. bashrc (this is the standard for most cases).

Shell Adding to rc file
bash PATH=$PATH:path/to/astro_scripts
zsh PATH=$PATH:path/to/astro_scripts

If you also want to import functions from the scripts you can add the PATH to your PYTHONPATH variable (also in the rc-file)

PYTHONPATH=path/to/astro_scripts:$PYTHONPATH

Now you can use the scripts anywhere.
