Processing iTelescope images fails when telescope metadata is missing or incorrect

Processing of iTelescope images from T32 and T09, in particular, fails in `ap_find_stars.py`: ``` 2021-01-16 19:41:12,069 | __main__ | DEBUG | FITS keywords found in image: {'IMG_FILE': ('calibrated-T09-davestrickland-NGC_253-20200813-023100-Red-BIN1-W-060-001.fit', 'Name of...

External non-python software dependencies should be removed

Currently I'm using external, non-python, tools for image resampling/co-addition and color composite generation, and also adaptive smoothing. - Astromatic swarp (resampling/coaddition) and stiff (FITS to rgb image composition), installed via...

The documentation should demonstrate an example of processing an iTelescope premium data set to a final product. This is also a good opportunity to start development python-based batch processing tools...

Need an end-to-end driver CLI script with simple configuration

The existing v0.2.3 AstroPhotography python classes and command line scripts work well enough processing single images, but don't provide a means to process an entire observing nights worth of images...

Per issue #3 we want to move away from external dependencies, such as the astromatic `swarp` tool currently used from image resampling and combination. I need to actually do a...

A python-based class and command line tool is needed to perform adaptive smoothing of processed images, in particular resampled composites of multiple images. I'm using Jeremy Sanders' contbin command line...
