Bedell tours ESO!

Superstar Megan Bedell is touring the ESO archive! Get your tickets online!

Touring plan

  1. If you don't already have them, install astroquery and BeautifulSoup.

  2. Update prepare_download.py to use your ESO username so I don't get blamed when the ESO archive crashes (again).

  3. Run python prepare_download.py

  4. Do as instructed by the script: cd data; sh download.sh, and enter your ESO password when asked.

  5. When ESO asks, deny all responsibility.

Retrieving data on a single star

Use the query_object.py script:

python query_object.py <ra> <dec> --name my_star

Use the -h flag to get more informatioon on the options available.

python query_object.py -h

You will need to provide a file with your ESO credentials, which by default is set to eso_credentials.yml. The contents of the ESO credentials file should be something like:

eso:
  username: bedell
  password: pupper
