This brings the v28 release branch in line with changes in master, so it is based on PRs already reviewed. Specifically: PRs #95, #101, #102, #103, #104
The significant functional changes are:
Major cleanup of fundamental observation script to ensure consistent definition of targets and observations
Removal of target construction from main observation script into stand alone targets module that also handles coordinate conversion
Allow YAML input to handle galactic and scans using horizontal coordinates with tracking by converting these targets to equatorial (ra, dec) when observation starts.
Update scan target definition to bring it in line with normal tracking target specification. All targets will now require both coordinate and duration specification, no more special case scan duration implementation with slightly different meanings.
Ensure scans module works with the noise diode implementations, including lead time.
Update example YAML template to reflect updated implementation
Improvements to user scripts, including Google Colab notebooks (not directly used for MeerKAT observations)
