Ever thought of making a presentation about this subject and putting it on YouTube? :-)

It sounds really impressive.

I've never really dabbled in youtube. I have several projects/papers I am working on using this code, I have thought about writing some blog posts as I publish those. But a PhD is going to be a major time sink, we will see what happens.

Do you want to post it as a Show HN soon, before the PhD sucks you in altogether?

(If so, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll put it in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), so it will get a random placement on HN's front page.)

Thank you for the offer! Unfortunately the PhD has already sunk its claws in. I should have some flashy stuff to show off in a 2-3 months (I have a conference talk coming I have to prepare material for).

Drat! Well, if you ever have some cycles to share your work on HN, contact us at hn@ycombinator.com and we'll be happy to help.

More importantly, good luck with the PhD and we all hope it goes swimmingly!

Looking forward to it! Good luck with the PhD! (and thanks for making your code Open Source!)

I like the daredevil asteroids going for the close dive of the star emoji sun :)

Would it be appropriate to communicate on the README which telescopes this is used for? You see these very niche, very professional-looking repositories on GitHub now and then, and it's never clear how much credibility they have and whether they come from a hobbyist, student, experiment, or are in operational use.

This sounds like an amazing project!

I have a background in physics and ~20 years as a software engineer in the tech industry. Astronomy and astrophysics are so reliant on code these days; is there anywhere I could volunteer my expertise just to be a code monkey and help teams be more productive when working on software?
