[AstroPy] Project Examples

[Paul Kuin]

checkout ds9 to combine 3 images into an rgb image

there are data archives, like MAST, at ESO, etc. 
it would make sense to start with data taken with one instrument, then expand to other areas. 

cheers, - Paul

I want to communicate my project goals in the hopes that perhaps there are some existing software libraries that can be shared or explained at length or a mailing list. I've crawled the webpages for information, although some of what I've asked might be there, I think the contact would always be helpful in the least.
