Exotic

Features:
- Decrease in time for large datasets due to optimization in photometric routine.
- Slight increase in speed when computing for best comparison star and fitting for lightcurve.
- Exoplanet name formatting will be less strict for NEA queries. Please make sure you run EXOTIC while connected to the internet at least once to download exoplanet names.
- Slight increase in speed when computing for best comparison star and fitting for lightcurve.

Bugfix:
- Added error check for plate solution in headers during the alignment phase.

Bugfix
- Plate scale bugfix regarding astrometry.net fall off

Bugfix
- Bugfix for pre-reduced data's final parameters file

Features
- Modified the photometric extraction routine by increasing the range of annulus and aperture sizes to loop through for finding the optimal fit.
- Reintroduced a method to the alignment by calculating the phase cross-correlation to speed up the code partially. If the phase cross-correlation method can't register the pixel shifts properly, EXOTIC will fall back on the previous method of finding the transformation matrix.
- Added color for output for errors/warnings and reformatted them for uniformity
- Latitude, longitude, and elevation can be scraped from image headers
- Clean up user input validation

Bugfixes
- None

Bugfix
- AAVSO output file error bugfix

Features
- Added CMOS option to GUI
- Added “Thinking” while loading GUI
- Automatically fills out MOBS as Secondary Observer Code if reducing MicroObservatory data
- Plate-solved WCS coordinate images can now be used to track pixel locations of the target and comp stars - no alignment needed
- Increased speed for photometry
- Added pre-reduced data option back to the GUI

Bugfixes
- Fixed sigma clip bug
- RA & DEC bugfix to GUI due to NEA putting it in decimal rather than hh/mm/ss
