Description

The classes are time-and-the-sky functions for planning and carrying out ground-based astronomical observations, based on astropy.coordinates and astropy.time, with a few end-runs to speed things up. There is also a Tkl/TK program similar to JSkyCalc for interactive use. The functions are also useful for data processing for such tasks as, inferring barycentric corrections from image header data.

Duplicated (with more complete description) in #229?

[jrthorstensen]

Yes, I somehow submitted it twice - the less complete one should be withdrawn. I didn't see how to do that immediately, though to be fair I haven't looked very hard! John
