This repository is dedicated to a suite of tutorials to help you get started with using Lasair to accept the LSST Alert data. For Further information we have ReadTheDocs pages, and their relevant subsections will be sign posted where relevant in these tutorials
There are two kinds of resources:
- Notebooks: detailed step-by-step jupyter notebooks explaining how the code and data work.
- Scripts: self-contained and well commented code templates that can be copy-pasted directly.
Generally speaking the notebooks will have more explanations because they allow for more verbose descriptions.
These docs will be completed over the next few weeks to include more details and port some of the code from the old notebooks. Eventually the old repo will only contain the Lasair ZTF examples and this repo will focus on LSST.
