Various astronomy observation tools!
AperturePhotometry.py performs aperture photometry on a given user-provided image. Aperture photometry is the measurement of light which falls within a particular aperture. This program can perform aperture photometry within a square or within a circle using fractional pixels.
In the Centroid folder is FindCentroid.py, which takes in a .fits file (eg: sampleimage.fits) and returns the centroid of the object.
In the Magnitude folder is FindMagnitude.py, which takes in a .fits file (eg: sampleimage.fits) and returns the magnitude of the target object.
In the Astrometry folder is LSPRastrometry.py, which performs Least Squares Plate Reduction astrometry on a given object. This program returns the RA/DEC of the target object given the RA/DEC and pixel coordinates of comparison stars (LSPRtestinput1.txt).
