Animations made with hcipy to demonstrate optical principles in telescopes.
Animations of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph by Bruce Macintosh.
hcipy https://hcipy.org/ is a Python package designed to simulate optical propagation in high contrast imaging applications. It is used by several astronomical institutes to simulate coronagrahs and adaptive optic systems for both ground and space based telescopes.
numpy
ffmpeg is used to make the animations.
progressbar2 tracks how long the animations take.
