        Observation planning and finding charts for HiPERCAM
        
        ``hcam_finder`` provides a Python script ``hfinder`` for observation planning with
        HiPERCAM on the WHT and GTC. It allows you to generate finding charts as well as specify the instrument setup
        you require, whilst providing an estimate of observing cadence, exposure time and
        S/N estimates.
        
        ``hcam_finder`` is written in Python and is based on TKinter. It should be compatible
        with Python2 and Python3.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        The software is written as much as possible to make use of core Python
        components. It requires my own `hcam_widgets <https://github.com/HiPERCAM/hcam_widgets>`_ module.
        It also relies on the third party libraries `astropy <http://astropy.org/>`_ for astronomical
        calculations and catalog lookup, as well as `ginga <https://ginga.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ for
        image display. Optionally, you can also use `astroquery <https://astroquery.readthedocs.io>`_ to expand
        the range of surveys one can download images from.
        
        Installing using ``pip`` should take care of these dependencies. Simply install with::
        
         pip install .
        
        or if you don't have root access::
        
         sudo pip install .
        
        or::
        
         pip install --user .
