Time to run my horrifying python code that builds a bash script that I use to repeatedly call some fortran code and make output I pull back into python for calculating telescope pointings.

My deepest apologies to everyone here who actually has training in making good software. I'm doing science!

(And no, I'm not looking for advice. Hilariously, this dumpster fire of code works well enough, and I don't need to improve it right now.)

@sundogplanets I’ve known enough programmers and engineers from 60s era banks and military through contemporary aerospace engineers to know that some of the most important systems run on the creakiest code and the people who know those systems best are terrified of updates.
