Telescopy aims to simulate images of astronomical objects observed with visual and infrared instruments. It does this by creating models of the optical train and astronomical objects and then pushing the object through the optical train. The resulting 2D image is then broadcast to a detector chip and read out into a FITS file.
This code was originally based on the SimCADO package

For and above the latest versions of these packages are compatible with ScopeSim:
numpy >= 1.16
scipy >= 1.0.0
astropy >= 2.0
pyyaml >= 5.1
requests >= 2.20
beautifulsoup4 >= 4.4
synphot >= 0.1.3
For the following packages may not exceed these version numbers:
astropy <= 3.2.3
synphot <= 0.1.3
Numpy>=1.16 must be used for synphot to work For Astropy<4.0, only Synphot<=0.1.3 works
