astropy integration? #9

Closed kadrlica closed 6 years ago

kadrlica commented 7 years ago

Investigate integration with astropy. Of specific interest is the astropy coordinate module; however, coordinate transforms are notoriously slow (astropy/astropy#1717)

kadrlica commented 6 years ago

At this point I think we want to stay away from astropy coordinates in catalogs (we have written an interface that abstracts away the choice of coordinate). astropy itself is beginning to permeate the code, and is now a solid dependency due to the replacement of pyfits with astropy.io.fits (#24).
