Introduction

In an ideal world, we would always have the telescope filter name, telescope facility name, and the instrument name. However, in the real world, we might only have one or two of these things. In this case, we need to make assumptions to derive information about the filter, namely the effective wavelength and transmission function.

The goal of this mini python package is to standardize the way we do this.
