panstamps

Download stacked and/or warp image stamps from the STScI PanSTARRS image server via CL or Python API.

Documentation for panstamps is hosted by Read the Docs (development version and master version). The code lives on github. Please report any issues you find here.

Note

If working with warped PS1 images then you need to work off a machine that has an IP address whitelisted by the Pan-STARRS1 data archive <https://panstarrs.stsci.edu/>_, otherwise only stacked images will be available to you. Also w-band images are not (yet) accessible from the data archive.

Installation

The easiest way to install panstamps is to use pip (here we show the install inside of a conda environment):

conda create -n panstamps python=3.9 pip
conda activate panstamps
pip install panstamps

To upgrade to the latest version of panstamps use the command:

pip install panstamps --upgrade

To check installation was successful run panstamps -v. This should return the version number of the install.
