I'm also chillin here at SPIE and can confirm that there's lots of telescope scheduler discussion going on. Really, it sounds like we need someone to organize a conference on...

Did someone say sky brightness model? Here's the model for LSST: https://github.com/lsst/sims_skybrightness hHere's a notebook showing it in action: https://github.com/lsst/sims_skybrightness/blob/master/doc/Sky_Model_demo.ipynb It's mostly interpolating a set of spectra from the ESO...

What we really need is for ESO to open source the code behind this web page: http://www.eso.org/observing/etc/bin/gen/form?INS.MODE=swspectr+INS.NAME=SKYCALC I'm pretty sure the code was written in a way that it could...

I've been working on this for LSST to try and measure cloud transparency off all-sky images. If there's interest I might be able to convert it to an astropy affiliated...

Right, I know everyone just copy-pastas those commands all over the place. But it might be nice if this repo had a .sty file with the commands so they were...

@cwwalter The code Lynne wrote is in the sims_selfcal repo. https://github.com/lsst/sims_selfcal/tree/master/python/lsst/sims/selfcal/clouds This might have gone a bit stale, so it would be great if someone wanted to break it out...

It would be an interesting exercise to grab DECAM and/or HSC data and do ISR, mask sources, and then look at residuals (and power spectrum) compared to the smooth sky...

Just hopping on the thread to note that I noticed new github releases weren't getting picked up. Tried the usual disconnecting github and then reconnecting and toggling switches back on,...
