Tools, tips, tricks for comet observations with JWST. Some may even be useful for asteroids.
- For Exposure Time Calculator tips and a tool for estimating comet brightness, see estimations.
- For Astronomer's Proposal Tool (APT) tips and a tool for visualizing moving targets in APT, see apt-targets.
- For some tips measuring astrometry with NIRCam, see astrometry.
- To plot the fields of view of JWST data with respect to a moving target position, see instrument-fov.
- For some tips on processing NIRSpec data, see nirspec.
- I tried to do some cube cleaning on MIRI data with mixed results, see cube-cleaning
