论文摘要
我们提出了一个基于Python的框架，用于机器人望远镜观测站的完整操作。它为许多流行的相机类型提供了开箱即用的支持，而其他硬件（例如望远镜，圆顶和气象站）可以通过薄薄的抽象层轻松地添加到现有代码中。诸如聚焦，获取，自动引导，天空牌获取和管道校准之类的常见功能已准备好使用。包括一个遥控界面，是一种真正的机器人操作的“策划者”以及与LAS Cumbres天文台观察门户的接口。整个系统是完全可配置的，易于扩展。目前，我们正在成功地在三种不同类型的望远镜上运行Pyobs，其中一种是用于观察太阳的Siderostat。 Pyobs尽可能使用开放标准和开放软件，并且本身可以自由使用。
We present a Python-based framework for the complete operation of a robotic telescope observatory. It provides out-of-the-box support for many popular camera types while other hardware like telescopes, domes, and weather stations can easily be added via a thin abstraction layer to existing code. Common functionality like focusing, acquisition, auto-guiding, sky-flat acquisition, and pipeline calibration are ready for use. A remote-control interface, a "mastermind" for truly robotic operations as well as an interface to the Las Cumbres Observatory observation portal is included. The whole system is fully configurable and easily extendable. We are currently running pyobs successfully on three different types of telescopes, of which one is a siderostat for observing the Sun. pyobs uses open standards and open software wherever possible and is itself freely available.
