ctapipe.instrument.telescope Module

Classes pertaining to the description of a Cherenkov Telescope

Todo:

• add more info in OpticsDescription (mirror area, facets, etc). How to guess this?

• add ability to write to/from tables (like that written by ctapipe-dump-instrument)

• add ability to construct by names TelescopeDescription.from_name( camera=’LSTCam’, optics=(‘SST’,’1M’)) (which would create a very unbalanced telescope :-))
