  1. Random Astro package of the week is iraf. IRAF is the "Image Reduction and Analysis Facility". The main IRAF distribution includes a good selection of programs for general image processing and graphics.

    Other external or layered packages are available for applications such as data acquisition or handling data from other observatories and wavelength regimes such as the Hubble Space Telescope (optical), EUVE (extreme ultra-violet), or

  6. Good news for #IRAF users on a Mac: IRAF can now be installed via #Homebrew! Installation has never been easier:

    brew tap iraf-community/tap
    brew install iraf x11iraf

    Check out the updated installation instructions for more info: iraf-community.github.io/insta

  9. Random Astro package of the week is python3-pyraf. PyRAF is a command language for running IRAF tasks in a Python like environment. It works very similar to IRAF CL, but has been updated to allow such things as importing Python modules, GUI parameter editing and help. It can be imported into Python allowing you to run IRAF commands from within a larger script.

    Random #Debian Astro package of the week is iraf-xdimsum. XDIMSUM is a package for creating accurate sky subtracted images from sets of dithered observations. While the observations need not be in the infrared, the dominance of the variable sky background in infrared data requires the dithering and recombination of many short carefully sky subtracted exposures to produce deep images.

    Random #Debian Astro package of the week is iraf-wcstools. WCSTools is a set of software utilities, written in C, which create, display and manipulate the world coordinate system of a FITS or IRAF image, using specific keywords in the image header which relate pixel position within the image to position on the sky. Auxiliary programs search star catalogs and manipulate images.

    This package contains the IRAF package.

    Random #Debian Astro package of the week is iraf-mscred. The MSCRED external package is used to reduce CCD mosaic data in multiextension FITS format. This format is produced for example by the Data Capture Agent when observing with the NOAO CCD Mosaic Imager, as well as similar instruments from AAO, CFA, CFHT, ESO, INT and others.

  48. I could today successfully built #IRAF on a @fedora 40 (beta) system. Very few adjustments were needed to get it compiled with the default compiler flags.
    Still we look for someone who volunteers to maintain a proper package for this still important #AstronomySoftware piece.

  49. Yesterday, I found (and fixed) an at least 37 years old bug in #IRAF CL. It appeared already in the first IRAF version where we have source code (2.8). If you have an older version, please let me know! #SoftwareArcheology
