Kaylee De Soto
Worked on the gnarayan/decat_pointings repository to enhance observational astronomy planning and telescope scheduling workflows. Over three months, delivered four features focused on data management, configuration management, and file organization, using CSV and text formats to structure target catalogs and observation plans. Implemented expanded target lists, refined observation schedules with airmass visualization and twilight-aware planning, and reorganized the codebase for maintainability and future versioning. The technical approach emphasized reproducibility, traceability, and efficient use of telescope time, while disciplined file management and clear documentation supported onboarding and future audits. No bug fixes were required, reflecting a focus on foundational improvements.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 focused on strengthening the reliability and clarity of the observation planning workflow for the gnarayan/decat_pointings repository. Delivered Observation Plan Enhancements and Timing Corrections for March 2025, which reorganized and reformatted twilight/target observation details, added new targets, clarified handling of schedule deviations, and refined timings to align with March execution windows. Implemented a bug fix to stabilize the obsplan, with commits addressing the fix and plan updates, and updated March 2025 plan documentation to improve reproducibility and review. Overall, the changes improve planning accuracy, execution confidence, and traceability for telescope observations.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for gnarayan/decat_pointings: Delivered two major features enhancing target planning and telescope scheduling. Implemented an expanded target catalog and updated observation plan, plus refinements to the February 27 schedule with airmass visualization, last-minute target updates, and file organization that support more accurate and efficient observing runs. All work aligns with business goals of maximizing telescope utilization, reducing manual planning effort, and improving data-quality potential through better timing, moon phase awareness, and twilight planning.
