 INTERNSHIP OBJECTIVE

3.1 OVERVIEW

The internship project is primarily focused on performing an exploratory data analysis (EDA) on
the azimuth of a telescope. The first step in this project involved understanding the dataset, which
contained six attributes related to the azimuth of the telescope. This understanding of the data was
crucial as it helped determine the appropriate statistical methods or data visualization techniques
to be used.

The next phase of the project was the data analysis. Various Python libraries were utilized such as
pandas for data manipulation, numpy for numerical computation, and matplotlib and seaborn for
data visualization.

Data visualization was a significant part of the EDA. Various plots were created to visualize the
patterns, trends, and anomalies in the data. This helped in gaining valuable insights into the
azimuth of the telescope and its dynamics and behavior.

In addition to the data analysis, the a web application was also developed that allows users to
visualize the data of the azimuth of the telescope. Users can upload a CSV file containing the data
and select or deselect the columns for which the graph needs to be plotted.

The final objective of the internship was to draw insights from the EDA and suggest areas for
future analysis. It also suggests that further analysis could be done to investigate other aspects of
the telescope’s orbit, such as altitude, inclination, and eccentricity.
