lsst.obs.base¶
The lsst.obs.base module provides the framework and common API for telescope/camera specific “obs” packages.
New cameras will derive from the classes defined here.
lsst.obs.base.tests provides the tests that all “obs” packages should pass.
Contributing¶
lsst.obs.base is developed at https://github.com/lsst/obs_base.
You can find Jira issues for this module under the obs_base component.
