The OSOb library provides wrapper for the telescope.org site functionality. The library provides access and control for the telescope. The functions help with job submission, image retrival and initial analysis. For now this is aimed at variable star observations, but there is nothing prohibiting additional modules intended for different fields (e.g. astrometry).

Install

pip install osob

How to use

The library may be used as standard python module and through several command line utilities: submit_batch, pipeline etc. Typical use in your own scripts

config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read(expanduser('~/.config/telescope.ini'))

OSO=Telescope(config['telescope.org']['user'], 
              config['telescope.org']['password'])

reqlst=OSO.get_user_requests(sort='completion')
print(f'Number of users requests: {len(reqlst)}')

print("User folders:")
for f in OSO.get_user_folders():
    cnt = f["count"] 
    if cnt is None:
        cnt = 0
    print(f'{f["name"]:>12} ({f["id"]:>3}): {cnt:>4} items')

OSO.logout()
