v0.46.0
What's Changed
🔭 This module adds a useful q()
utility parameter, which is a normalised quality index of an observation, taking into account the Moon's illumination, the angular separation between the target object and the Moon, the Sun's altitude (taking into account astronomical twilight starting at -18 degrees below the local horizon) and the target's altitude (assuming a horizon of +6 degrees for enhanced observations).
In subsequent releases, we will be exposing a function that can calculate the q
based of off an observer's location, a target object and a particular datetime of observation.
