prose 0.9.32

Reduction and analysis of FITS telescope observations

prose

A python framework to build FITS images pipelines.

Built for Astronomy, prose features pipelines to perform common tasks (such as automated calibration, reduction and photometry) and makes building custom ones easy. Documentation at prose.readthedocs.io

from prose.pipeline import Calibration, AperturePhotometry

destination = "reduced_folder"

reduction = Calibration(images=[...], flats=[...])
reduction.run(destination)

photometry = AperturePhotometry(destination)
photometry.run()

Installation

prose runs more safely in its own virtual environment and is tested on Python 3.6.

example on OSX

create your virtualenv and activate it

python3.6 -m venv prose_env
source prose_env/bin/activate.bin
