Plot visits from survey using astropy full sky vis. One night vs nights from different times of the year for idea of how much Rubin sees. https://learn.astropy.org/tutorials/plot-catalog.html

Histogram of visit obs times (obs start mjd, as function of 7 days)

[chubrianzy]

Same thing as part 1, but using ecliptic instead (convert RA dec to ecliptic)

[chubrianzy]

Idea: know how the visits are mapped out in the sky, know how many visits there are per week, compare that with visits over months, gain better understanding of how the telescope observes
