Adding an MPC code adds also geographical coordinates

Closed this issue · 3 comments

It will be a great help to configuration to download observatory coordinates when adding an MPC code to config file

This is the official endpoint, but must be parsed https://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/lists/ObsCodes.html

There is also astroquery with a module for mpc and iau observatory codes
https://astroquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mpc/mpc.html

print(MPC.get_observatory_location('371'))    
(<Angle 133.5965 deg>, 0.82433, 0.56431, 'Tokyo-Okayama')
