I wanted a way to quickly see some info about a star based on it's TICID, so I made this tool.

Maybe someone else will find it useful

pip install ticinfo

to use

Target name: V* AU Mic
The target is in constellation Microscopium

if you just have coordiantes you can use

Finding whether data is in the archive

You are able to find out whether there is TESS data available in the archive for any target by using the --stored flag, or -s for short.

Finding whether data will be available

You are able to find out whether there the target will be observable in the next TESS cycle using the --future flag, or -f for short.
