Maybe related to #73 and #149 , but building on the recent work of GSoC 2019 Student Developer Tiffany Jansen on the astroplan package, as requested by @bmorris3 on Slack. Initially planning two or more tutorials for the purpose of, for example, introducing new users to the package, or for more experienced users to learn about the latest additions to the code base.

Developing “telescopy”: A Simple API for Retrieving Signal-to-Noise Estimates of an Arbitrary Astronomical Observation

Abstract: To make a convincing proposal in observational astronomy, you must demonstrate to a telescope’s proposal committee that your target can indeed be sufficiently observed with their instrument. How long could you observe a particular A-star with Hubble before it saturates the pixels? Will an M-dwarf at a distance of 327 parsecs have a high enough photon flux to be detectable with a certain filter and aperture? How many more photon counts can you expect when observing your object in the V band versus the U band? These questions are among those which telescopy will make easy to answer, thus aiding the thorough astronomer in their observational endeavors.
