Telescope
Telescope Schema
Description: A single pier/instrument host belonging to an Observatory.
A Telescope's ``latitude``, ``longitude``, and ``elevation`` (from
:class:`LocationMixIn`) describe the *physical pier coordinates* of this
telescope. They are intentionally distinct from the parent
:class:`Observatory`'s coordinates: an observatory is a region (often
spanning a mountain or campus) that contains one or more telescopes housed
in different enclosures, so each telescope's pier may be tens of meters or
even kilometers offset from the observatory centroid. Mount-level optical
pivot offsets are tracked separately on :class:`Mount` (``pivot_x/y/z``).
