Star cluster targets.

Current issues#

The current ZeroAgeCluster class is limited to point sources (or rather stars really), but that isn’t reflected in its name. The parent class Cluster technically isn’t limited to point sources.

There is now some overlap in concept between Cluster and StarField, as both deal with an internal list of point sources. This should be resolved in the future. In the context of this, there’s also the not-yet-implemented TargetCollection mentioned in the example YAMLs.
