fcmaker: Automating the creation of ESO-compliant finding charts for Observing Blocks on p2
چکیده انگلیسی
fcmaker is a python module that creates astronomical finding charts for Observing Blocks (OBs) on the p2 web server from the European Southern Observatory (ESO). It provides users with the ability to automate the creation of ESO-compliant finding charts for Service Mode and/or Visitor Mode OBs at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The design of the fcmaker finding charts, based on an intimate knowledge of VLT observing procedures, is fine-tuned to best support night time operations. As an automated tool, fcmaker also provides observers with the means to independently check visually the observing sequence coded inside an OB. This includes, for example, the signs of telescope and position angle offsets. VLT instruments currently supported by fcmaker include MUSE (WFM-AO, WFM-NOAO, NFM), HAWK-I (AO, NOAO), and X-shooter (full support). The fcmaker code is published on a dedicated Github repository under the GNU General Public License, and is also available via pypi.
