Description: # PyOngc
        A python interface for accessing OpenNGC database data
        
        ## Description
        PyOngc provides a python module to access astronomical data about NGC and
        IC objects.
        
        The data is based on OpenNGC database
        <https://github.com/mattiaverga/OpenNGC>.
        
        It is composed by a main module and a command line utility named
        ongcbrowse which can be used to print object details in a terminal.
        
        PyOngc data can provide data to PyEphem in a simple way to get ephemerides
        of NGC/IC objects. See the documentation about ongc.xephemFormat method.
        
        ## Usage
                >>> from pyongc import ongc
                >>> DSOobject = ongc.Dso("NGC7000")
                >>> DSOobject.getCoords()
                ((20, 59, 17.14), ('+', 44, 31, 43.6))
        
        Object data is easily available from command line also:
        
                $ ongcbrowse -n NGC7000 --details
