Mask the bright planets

Parameters:
mask_radiusfloat (3.5)

The radius to mask around a planet (degrees).

planetslist of str (None)

A list of planet names to mask. Defaults to [‘venus’, ‘mars’, ‘jupiter’]. Not including Saturn because it moves really slow and has average apparent mag of ~0.4, so fainter than Vega.
