hcipy.aperture.make_hale_aperture(normalized=False, with_spiders=True)

Make the Hale Telescope aperture.

The size of the spiders and the attachements were based on the actual pupil measurements from Figure 2 of [Galicher2019]

Parameters:

normalizedboolean

If this is True, the outer diameter will be scaled to 1. Otherwise, the diameter of the pupil will be 5.08 meters.
