In order to avoid confusion if names are used by different (especially external) modules, the QC scripts use the 'from' statement only for pyQC modules, i.e.: . ... For other modules, the simple 'import' statement is used: . ... Python modules are also used for keeping script configuration. ...

. This Chandra image shows the higher energy X-rays detected from the Tycho Supernova Remnant. These X-rays show the expanding blast wave from the supernova, a shell of extremely energetic electrons. Close-ups of two different regions are shown, region A containing the brightest stripes and region B with fainter stripes. X-ray: NASA/CXC/Rutgers/K.Eriksen, et al.

. There are several different shells available for Unix; the most popular are described here. You can use any one of these shells if they are available on your system. And you can switch between the different shells once you have found out if they are available. Bourne shell (sh) . C shell (csh) . TC shell (tcsh) . Korn shell (ksh) . Bourne Again SHell (bash) .

. This image is a screen capture of the full width half max of the imager array taken on February 15, 2000. The left portion of the image is simply the fwhm calculations for each of the chips in the array. On the right side is the estimated fwhm corrected for wavelength. This takes all the different filters and converts the estimated seeing as if it were in i' I believe. It is useful as a measure of the consistency of image quality across the array. As you can see, it is quite good! . long@apo.nmsu.edu
