THELI home page

THELI is a state-of-the-art pipeline for the reduction of astronomical imaging data (this web-page isn't).
Some key features:

Support for optical, near-infrared and mid-infrared data
Support for single- and multichip (mosaic) cameras
Automatic astrometric and photometric calibration
Stand-alone tools in C/C++, no black boxes
Fast (fully parallelised for multi-core and cluster architectures)
Comes with a graphical user interface
More than 50 instruments from many observatories pre-configured
User-definable instruments
Runs under Linux and UNIX (MacOS users still have to setup a virtual Linux environment)
Suitable for amateur astronomers who want to use scientific software solutions

Some examples:
Data from the ESO Wide Field Imager (WFI)
Some pretty pictures taken with my own telescopes

We provide unpacked scamp binaries to avoid problems for users without root access.
Please note that currently only the last fully statically linked version (1.4.6) of scamp
is fully supported in THELI. You can use later versions but then (likely) have to recompile
PLPLOT on your machine with PNG support.
scamp 32bit single-core athlon
scamp 32bit multi-core athlon
scamp 32bit single-core i686
scamp 32bit multi-core i686
scamp 64bit single-core x86_64
scamp 64bit multi-core x86_64

Optionally, WIFIX can be used, but it is significantly slower and provides less feedback:
WIFIX-Distrib-2.1_theli.tar.gz
The GUI needs the Qt3 library
Pre-compiled versions exist for most Linuxes.
You must install the development version (qt3-dev) and possible headers (qt3-headers)
qt-x11-free-3.3.8b.tar.gz
