Different results than those of Web TESS Viewing Tool

[jdavidrcamacho]

While using the Web TESS Viewing Tool on the star CD-571633 (ra = 106.62063241; dec = -57.45808835), the webpage shows me the star was observed in sector 1 to 13 continuously and will be observed in sector 27 to 39 continuously.

When using your example_use_tess_stars2py_byfunction.py file, and simply substituting the ra and dec of your first example by the coordinates of my star print in my console gives

Where, if I'm interpreting the results correctly, is missing sectors 1, 11, 31, and 39.

The missing 39th sector I believe it comes from line 726 of the tess_stars2px.py file where you have sectors = np.arange(1,39, dtype=np.int) it should be sectors = np.arange(1,40, dtype=np.int).
The other missing sectors I don't know exactly what is going on.
Do you think the mistake is in the web page or this package?

Thank you for finding these problems. The sector list was incorrect, and now sector 39 will be included. Also, the function entry was out of date for checking the boundaries of the detectors. The boundary check was fixed for the normal tess_stars2px.py from command line in an earlier release. But the old boundary check code was not modified in the function entry version. In other words had nearly duplicate code in two places and one got fixed and the other did not. Let me know if you continue to have problems. 'pip install --upgrade tess-point' will get you to the v0.3.9 with these fixes.
