Continuing to Work on SAOImage ds9 and Working on Basic Astronomy

2/20/14

Hello All!

Just another weekly update, I am still working on the ds9 image program, and I am beginning to work on tutorials that will increase my knowledge of the program. I am leaning about how astronomers use broadband filters to isolate various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. I am also working on basic astronomy, learning about right ascension and declination.

More to come!

I seem to having a issue with saving images on ds9... almost all of my images look like this, having a sliver of what the actual image looks like on the program.

  1. Great summary, Ben. As the issues with ds9, how are you creating that image? If I do File-->Export and then save it as either a .jpg or .png file then I get basically a nice screenshot of whatever is in my active window. Let me know.

  2. OK thanks! I just tried the export option! I will post the Image as soon as I am done with this comment!
