read_raw_datfile

pytelpoint.io.read_raw_datfile(filename, obstime=<Time object: scale='utc' format='datetime' value=2023-09-25 18:54:07.990865>)

This reads the raw pointing data files as produced by the MMTO mount code.

Parameters:

filenamestr

Name of the data file to read

obstimeTime

Time the data were taken. This is pretty strictly optional since mount code takes this into account when calculating the astrometric az/el for each target.

Returns:

coo_obs, coo_rawSkyCoord instances

Actual observed az/el coordinates for each target, raw az/el coordinates as reported by the az/el encoders
