Changes:

  • Names of scripts ephemeris_flagging.py -> ephemeris_tools.py, so accommodate future tools that are not just flagging. The name of the EphemerisFlagger class name was changed to EphemerisTools. Similar change for the corresponding test functions.
  • Added CustomFrame coordinate frame class that can represent sky coordinates relative to some observatory position. It is defined to be parallel to the ICRS, but the origin is translated to the observatory position.
  • Added get_observaroty_ephemeris_pointing method to EphemerisTools class that computes the apparent coordinates of some celestial body defined by a ephemeris file, as seen from the provided observatory.

Wrote a test function to assert if the CustomFrame behaves and transforms as expected. All tests passed prior to committing.

…future generalized tools in the name. Also added functionality to represent sky coordinates in a observatory centric coordinate frames.
