re-do data-driven model with parallactic angle and time "inputs" #30

In addition to whatever pixel inputs you give to the code, can we also give

  1. time (or better time since, say, the middle of the mission)
  2. sine and cosine of a parallactic "angle". This angle could be something like:
2. * np.pi * (time - time_Kepler_was_closest_to_Kepler_field) / orbital_period

if you know what I mean.

ps. Oh and you might want to put on some priors to "encourage" the fit to use these inputs over, say, joe random pixel.
