Decide on apertures and best aperture #304

Closed guynir42 closed 1 week ago

guynir42 commented 3 weeks ago

Right now we are getting the list of aperture sizes (for photometry) from the instrument. I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do or if it should just be a config parameter.

In addition, we have the concept of a "best aperture" which can point to one of the aperture radii or to the PSF photometry. This seems like it should be a config parameter but may also come from the instrument or we can calculate it for each image somehow.

In any case, we should define this, because it is used in calculating limiting magnitudes and may be used in other things like plotting tools.
