Improvements

  • Implement visible command (https://docs.astronomyapi.com)
  • Add support for "best" timestep (or devise algorithm to calculate best time for observing)
  • Cache weather results for a set of coordinates for one hour
  • Add dashboard with all info that refreshes every hour and sends events to the user
  • Add unit/integration tests
  • Decouple astro providers like for weather and geo
