sbpy is a package for small-body planetary astronomy. It is meant to supplement functionality provided by astropy with functions and methods that are frequently used in the context of planetary astronomy with a clear focus on asteroids and comets. Features:

observation planning tools tailored to moving objects
photometry models for resolved and unresolved observations
wrappers and tools for astrometry and orbit fitting
spectroscopy analysis tools and models for reflected solar light and emission from gas
cometary gas and dust coma simulation and analysis tools
asteroid thermal models for flux estimation and size/albedo estimation
image enhancement tools for comet comae and PSF subtraction tools
lightcurve and shape analysis tools
access tools for various databases for orbital and physical data, as well as ephemerides services
