I'm also too lazy to find an astropy and scipy replacement in C++ so I'm stuck here by my own incompetence. Not having to compile every time I want export graphs is also nice. Maybe I'm overreacting. Or maybe all coding languages should be destroyed.

This sounds great, thank you! And I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that figure. Some numerical methods would be great to get into, I've poked around Astropy and my undergrad thesis used some particle physics packages but I was already pondering a numerical methods course later on as well.

Astronomers and software devs: does anyone else think it's time for @asclnet.bsky.social to stop automatically ingesting software without approval by the authors?
ASCL was awesome before you could make your own DOI or publish astro software alone. That's not our world anymore! 🔭 #astrocode

Question: was ASCL _ever_ the preferred cite for photutils? I ask this bc we see in software references extraordinary "latency" in updating bibtex. Astropy/CASA/CIAO/Numpy/Scipy are favorite out-of-date citations in submissions.

It had already found the astropy conversion. It just decided to ignore that and hallucinate because that was faster

You can add that as a coding rule to Claude, even down to your preferred libraries. Like “always check astropy first before creating your own utlilities”.

I always make the point to AI to use existing libraries whenever possible. So in this case I’d point it at astropy for this conversion.

I noticed that there isn’t any Python package that comfortably deals with Radiance, Irradiance, Reflecance, Transmission and such for the purpose of simulating planetary surface observations. Should I release such a package? Inclusive unit support via astropy.

Most importantly there are fnu2flambda and flambda2fnu functions where you can specify what units you want your spectrum to be converted to, in the way I wish astropy would work. Hopefully this is useful for other people as well!

Highly recommend watching this very interesting documentary. I've been a python advocate since 2003 when I first tried using it in astronomy data analysis: It was still very immature at that time, no astropy (but there was PyIRAF!) but it was fun and away from IDL

Since PixInsight 1.9.3 requires master calibration images in XISF format, to the exclusion of FITS, I must now calibrate all of my light images outside of PI so that I can continue to use my FITS masters.

I recently got a ToupTek ATR585M and wanted to see how linear it is in its different readout modes, so I made a #astropy and #matplotlib script. Point this at a directory of images and it'll burp out a linear regression plot in PNG form to show you, with residuals noted. github.com/daleghent/im... 🔭
