Photometry#
Overview#
The photometry module provides tools for astronomical photometric calculations, particularly useful for adaptive optics systems and astronomical observations:
Magnitude conversions: Converting between different magnitude systems
Sky brightness: Modeling sky background and atmospheric emission
Spectral analysis: Working with stellar and atmospheric spectra
Filter systems: Standard photometric filter definitions and conversions
Source flux calculations: Computing photon counts from astronomical sources
ESO Sky Calculator integration: Interface to ESO sky background models
