Reduction and analysis of FITS telescope observations
Project description
prose
A python framework to build FITS images pipelines.
prose is a tool to build pipelines dedicated to astronomical images processing, only based on pip installable dependencies (e.g. no IRAF, Sextractor or Astrometry.net install needed 🎉). It features default pipelines to perform common tasks (such as automated calibration, reduction and photometry) and makes building custom ones easy.
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
Then to locally install prose
git clone https://github.com/lgrcia/prose.git
python3.6 -m pip install -e prose
Applicable to Linux-based and Windows OS
