Scheduler#
- class astroplan.Scheduler(constraints, observer, transitioner=None, gap_time=<Quantity 5. min>, time_resolution=<Quantity 20. s>)[source]#
Bases:
object
Schedule a set of
ObservingBlock
objects- Parameters:
- constraintssequence of
Constraint
The constraints to apply to every observing block. Note that constraints for specific blocks can go on each block individually.
- observer
Observer
The observer/site to do the scheduling for.
- transitioner
Transitioner
(required) The object to use for computing transition times between blocks. Leaving it as
None
will cause an error.- gap_time
Quantity
with time units The maximum length of time a transition between ObservingBlocks could take.
- time_resolution
Quantity
with time units The smallest factor of time used in scheduling, all Blocks scheduled will have a duration that is a multiple of it.
