Use scopesim_templates
scopesim_templates has a micado subpackage now: https://github.com/astronomyk/ScopeSim_Templates/tree/master/scopesim_templates/micado
It should be used in MicadoWISE:
- first add
empty_sky
to the micado subpackage, and let the dark observe that - then add a flat_source, e.g. https://github.com/astronomyk/ScopeSim/blob/A_5_liners/docs/source/use_examples/5-liners/source_from_arrays.rst
- then add a star cluster
That should be enough to simulate all standard images.
(Creating instances of these objects is necessary to create header keywords, so might as well simulate them.)
