Finder-generation code, originally developed by Kaew Tinyanont and extended by Charlie Kilpatrick
To build the dependencies for the finders repository, run:
conda create -n finders python=3.12
pip install -r requirements.txt
python prepare_obs_run.py filename telescope
Filename is your target list and must be formatted with four columns with name, ra, dec, magnitude. See target_list.txt for an example input file formatted so the code can parse.
Telescope can be Keck, Lick, SOAR, or Gemini.
Outputs will be a reformatted target list (in Keck format) that includes the target and offset stars as well as finder charts in a "finders/" directory.
