Installing (with Anaconda)

git clone https://github.com/cta-sst-1m/digicamscheduling

digicamscheduling-elevation --start_date='2018-08-15 12:00' --end_date='2018-08-16 12:00' --time_step=1
digicamscheduling-schedule --start_date='2018-08-15 12:00' --end_date='2018-08-16 12:00' --time_step=30 --output_path='.'

Use the option --help to see how to run the scripts

Know issues

Most of the issues appear when:

1. Date does not exists : e.g. 2018-02-31
2. Time step is too low --> Memory error
3. Period is shorter than a day
4. Period does not include night time (Sun elevation < -12 deg)

Examples

Twilights

Moon
