Description |
Peter Erwin's
Python command-line program for searching multiple public telescope archives. It takes the
name of an astronomical object -- or a set of coordinates -- and checks the telescope
archives to see if they have observations within a user-specified box centered on the object/coordinates. |
Version installed |
Ubuntu 22.04:
2.0.3 (installed in June 2019). |
Usage |
At the command prompt, type :
telarchive <arguments>
(telarchive --help for quick usage help)
Examples:
telarchive "ngc 7027" 2.0
telarchive --coords="02 27 37.7 -01 09 17" 6.0
Also, a new tool is available to retrieve images from the
Sloan Digital Sky Survey (Data Release 5):
fetchdss <arguments>
(fetchdss --help for quick usage help)
|
Upgrade Notes |
This new version includes fixes to restore access to the Gemini Observatory
Archive [*] and SMOKA (Subaru, etc.), and also to restore proper reporting
of results from the ESO archive.
