• Plotting occultation maps
• Predicting occultations for a spacecraft
• Using different Vizier Catalogues in prediction() and Star()
  • Predicting with new catalog
  • Using a not Gaia star in the occultation process
• Fitting occultation chord to 3D shape models
• Using optimization fitting routines (since v0.3)
  • Determining the instants of a light curve using optimization
  • Fitting an ellipse to positive chords using optimization
