This list of dependencies may get smaller.

Example use

A full tutorial of how to use FGS data and the tools provided in FGS.py is given in the notebook FGS_tutorial.ipynb. A simple example is below.

$ import FGS
$ FGS.get_data() #Download all Kepler FGS data
$ #generate light curve from all quarters for Kepler ID 2564891
$ time,flux,column,row=FGS.gen_lc(datadir,ID=2564891)
