write image thumbnails #5
Description
A little different to the hardware-level window function most cameras have. This aims to reduce data saved to disk by only cutting out smaller thumbnails of known targets of interest. It only works if the X,Y positions of the stars are known, so a closed-loop-slew would be likely be a requirement.
Most flexible version of this would allow for one or more regions to be specified, perhaps as a yaml or even just a space-separated text file with the following information
target_name x_min y_min x_max y_max
target2_name x_min y_min x_max y_max
target2_name ... etc
Output would be fits files, perhaps with standard filename (and directory) with target name appended to beginning of filename.
