Star Scalar (Photometry and Astrometry)

Uses AstroPy to do some of the intermediate steps of source extraction and photometry that one might do in a more refined and accurate fashion with Source Extractor and SCAMP or Astrometry.net.

I want to find stars with 5-50 degree FOV cameras, so I do not think about galaxy extents in an image, since when a galaxy is in view, it's pretty small.

Local maxima finder

peak finding stars

useful for radar, blood cells, stars, etc.:

python localmax2d.py test/hst0cal.fits

AstroPy Constrast Stretching Plots

image normalization with AstroPy

AstroPy builds in several types of contrast stretching used with Matplotlib besides the usual Linear or Log normalization:
