It is designed to be modular and extensible,\nallowing users to easily add support for new devices and observatories.\n`pyscope \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/\u003e`_ is built on top of the\n`ASCOM \u003chttps://ascom-standards.org/\u003e`_ standard, but also provides support for\nnon-ASCOM devices. Users may also access their devices through third-party applications\nsuch as `MaxIm DL \u003chttps://diffractionlimited.com/product/maxim-dl/\u003e`_.\n\nObservatories who use `pyscope \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/\u003e`_ can take\nadvantage of the `telrun \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/pyscope.telrun.html\u003e`_\nmodule, which provides a simple interface for fully-robotic observatory control.\n\n`pyscope \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/\u003e`_ is aiming to become an\n`astropy-affiliated package \u003chttps://www.astropy.org/affiliated/\u003e`_.\n\nFeatures\n--------\n* Control observatory hardware with Python\n\n* Support for `ASCOM \u003chttps://ascom-standards.org/\u003e`_ and non-ASCOM devices\n\n* `Observatory \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/auto_api/pyscope.observatory.Observatory.html\u003e`_\n  convenience methods like `run_autofocus \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/auto_api/pyscope.observatory.Observatory.html#pyscope.observatory.Observatory.run_autofocus\u003e`_\n  and `recenter \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/auto_api/pyscope.observatory.Observatory.html#pyscope.observatory.Observatory.recenter\u003e`_\n\n* `telrun \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/pyscope.telrun.html\u003e`_ module\n  for fully-robotic operation of an observatory\n\n* Basic data reduction tools like\n  `avg_fits \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/auto_api/pyscope.reduction.avg_fits.html\u003e`_\n  and `ccd_calib \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/auto_api/pyscope.reduction.ccd_calib.html#pyscope.reduction.ccd_calib\u003e`_\n\n* Simple analysis scripts like\n  `calc_zmag \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/auto_api/pyscope.analysis.calc_zmag.html#pyscope.analysis.calc_zmag\u003e`_\n\n* Powered by `Astropy \u003chttps://www.astropy.org/\u003e`_,\n  `Astropy-affiliated \u003chttps://www.astropy.org/affiliated/\u003e`_\n  packages, and `ASCOM \u003chttps://ascom-standards.org/\u003e`_\n\nInstallation\n------------\npyscope is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip:\n\n.. code-block:: bash\n\n    pip install pyscope\n\npyscope will be available on conda-forge soon.\n\nDevelopment Installation\n========================\n|Codespaces|\n\nWe recommend using a virtual environment for development. You may create a new\nvirtual environment with pip:\n\n.. code-block:: bash\n\n    python -m venv pyscope-dev\n    source pyscope-dev/bin/activate\n\nOr with conda:\n\n.. code-block:: bash\n\n    conda create -n pyscope-dev python=3.12\n    conda activate pyscope-dev\n\nTo install pyscope for development, clone the repository and install with pip:\n\n.. code-block:: bash\n\n    git clone https://github.com/macro-consortium/pyscope\n    cd pyscope\n    pip install -e \".[dev]\"\n\nUsage\n-----\nTBD\n\nDocumentation\n-------------\nAll supporting documentation can be found at `readthedocs \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/\u003e`_.\n\nCiting\n------\nIf you use this package in your research, please cite it using the following:\n\nHistory\n-------\npyscope is based off of the IOTAlib (Iowa Optical Telescope Automation library) package, drawing on 25+ years of robotic observatory development at the University of Iowa, now with an emphasis on usage by anyone with a computerized telescope and python experience.\n\nContributing\n------------\nPlease see the `developer documentation \u003chttps://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/\u003e`_.\n\nLicense\n-------\nThis project is licensed under the `GNU AGPLv3 License \u003cLICENSE\u003e`_.\n\nIssues\n------\nPlease post any issues you find `here \u003chttps://github.com/macro-consortium/pyscope/issues\u003e`_.\n\n.. |License| image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/l/pyscope\n    :target: https://pypi.org/project/pyscope/\n    :alt: License\n\n.. |Zenodo| image:: https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.8403570.svg\n    :target: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8403570\n    :alt: Zenodo\n\n.. |PyPI Version| image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/pyscope\n    :target: https://pypi.org/project/pyscope/\n    :alt: PyPI Version\n\n.. |PyPI Python Versions| image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/pyscope?logo=Python\n    :target: https://pypi.org/project/pyscope/\n    :alt: PyPI Python Versions\n\n.. |PyPI Downloads| image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/dm/pyscope?logo=python\n    :target: https://pypi.org/project/pyscope/\n    :alt: PyPI Downloads\n\n.. |Astropy| image:: http://img.shields.io/badge/powered%20by-AstroPy-orange.svg?style=flat\n    :target: http://www.astropy.org\n    :alt: Powered by Astropy\n\n.. |GitHub CI| image:: https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/macro-consortium/pyscope/ci.yml?logo=GitHub\u0026label=CI\n    :target: https://github.com/macro-consortium/pyscope/actions/workflows/ci.yml\n    :alt: GitHub CI\n\n.. |Code Coverage| image:: https://codecov.io/gh/macro-consortium/pyscope/branch/main/graph/badge.svg\n    :target: https://app.codecov.io/gh/macro-consortium/pyscope/\n    :alt: Code Coverage\n\n.. |Documentation Status| image:: https://img.shields.io/readthedocs/pyscope?logo=ReadtheDocs\n    :target: https://pyscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/\n    :alt: Documentation Status\n\n.. |Codespaces Status| image:: https://github.com/macro-consortium/pyscope/actions/workflows/codespaces/create_codespaces_prebuilds/badge.svg\n    :target: https://github.com/macro-consortium/pyscope/actions/workflows/codespaces/create_codespaces_prebuilds\n    :alt: Codespaces Status\n\n.. |pre-commit| image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/pre--commit-enabled-brightgreen?logo=pre-commit\n    :target: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit\n    :alt: pre-commit enabled\n\n.. |Black| image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-black-000000.svg\n    :target: https://github.com/psf/black\n    :alt: Code Style\n\n.. |isort| image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/%20imports-isort-%231674b1?style=flat\u0026labelColor=ef8336\n    :target: https://pycqa.github.io/isort/\n    :alt: isort\n\n.. |Donate| image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/Donate-to_pyscope-crimson\n    :target: https://github.com/sponsors/macro-consortium\n    :alt: Donate\n\n.. |Codespaces| image:: https://github.com/codespaces/badge.svg\n    :target: https://codespaces.new/macro-consortium/pyscope\n    :alt: Codespaces\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmacro-consortium%2Fpyscope","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmacro-consortium%2Fpyscope","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmacro-consortium%2Fpyscope/lists"}
