[AstroPy] Contribute - SER Parser

[Michal Powalko]

Dear Astropy Community,


I have developed Python parser of "SER File Format":
https://github.com/Rolf-Hempel/PlanetarySystemStacker/blob/develop_michal/Source/ser.py 


SER File Format is simple uncompressed video format for astronomical 
capturing especially used for planetary "Lucky Imaging" purposes:

My code is the part of Rolf-Hempel's (author of MoonPanoramaMaker plugin 
for FireCapture) newest project called "PlanetarySystemStacker" 
available at: https://github.com/Rolf-Hempel/PlanetarySystemStacker/

After this long an complicated introduction, I will move on to the main 
message, which is, that I would relay like to contribute to Astropy 
project by sharing my SER parser by uploading and maintaining it. Since 
I am en power system electrical engineer, not the IT Develeper, my code 
is probably not yet confirm with Yours "Programming Requirements". I 
would really appreciate, if You will see this request as meaningful and 
are intrested in it. Guidance in order to integrate my code into Yours 
package would be very welcomed.

The short code development summary:

  * developed with Python 3.6 (using WinPython & Spyder)
  * Python 3 formatting style has been used (i.e. "{0:s}".format("spam")
    instead of "%s" % "spam").
  * dependencies: Numpy, OpenCV
  * code follows the standard PEP8 Style Guide for Python Code - as far
    as I am aware of it :)
  * optimised for speed (and I/O) as much as I am aware of it :)


Best regards

Michal Powalko
