Resolve "Generate OBX files (e.g. for ScopeSIM)"

Hugo Buddelmeijer requested to merge 72-generate-obx-files-e-g-for-scopesim into standardcado

Closes #72 (closed)

Add generation of OBX files. Based on example OBX files from OMEGACAM, VIRCAM and HAWKI. Limitations:

  • Constraints are hardcoded.
  • RA/Dec hardcoded to 0,0.
  • Acquisition templates supported, but they are not implemented.

Example OBX is included in the test directory: https://gitlab.astro-wise.org/micado/micadowise/-/blob/72-generate-obx-files-e-g-for-scopesim/src/micado/test/functional/MCD_img_cal_dark.obx

@kdleschinski I took the liberty to assign this MR to you, as one of the reasons to add the functionality is to be able to provide ScopeSIM with OBX files. Would you be willing to review it? (To whatever level you feel comfortable with, also fine with me if you merge it as-is.)

BTW, I don't think we should actually make OBX files the interface between MICADO-WISE and ScopeSIM. But it would be nice if it is possible, because OBX files are kinda the lowest common denominator between everything.

I also see it happening that ESO will replace OBX files by something in YAML, but the content will probably stay similar. If they will ever become YAML, then we should probably make that the interface between MICADO-WISE and ScopeSIM too.
