implement minor planet vetting #105

Open noahfranz13 opened 3 weeks ago

I implemented the comparison of our TNS targets to the minor planet center catalog when the vet button is clicked. Some things I still think we need to discuss before merging this (maybe at our meeting thursday):

  1. Do we really want this to happen when we click vet? It does take ~1 minute which significantly increases the time for vetting to occur and I think this is because of the MPC, not us. We could add a "Run MPC" button instead that can be optionally clicked after vetting.
  2. How do we want the results of the minor planet checking to appear on the TOM? Right now I am changing the classification to "Minor Planet/Asteroid" but there might be a better way?

Interested to hear thoughts!

I think this is all ready now!

Note: dramatiq will need to be restarted before this will work on the actual TOM!
