THELI

THELI is a state-of-the-art pipeline for the reduction of astronomical imaging data.
Some of its key features are:

• handling of optical, near-infrared and mid-infrared data
• single- and multichip (mosaic) cameras are handled, including even the largest systems
• automatic astrometric and photometric calibration using scamp or astrometrix
• stand-alone tools in C/C++, no black boxes
• fast (fully parallelised for multi-core and cluster architectures)
• comes with a graphical user interface
• in its current version, THELI supports more than 35 professional cameras, and the user can add more
• runs under UNIX, Linux and MacOS
• also suitable for amateur astronomers who want to use the tools from the pros
