The results of a search for ultrarapid variability of galactic water maser sources at the wavelength 1.35 cm on a timescale of several minutes to 1 h are reported. A special observational technique was developed. ... Among those, several sources that have shown such variability were found. ... Clear evidence for such a variability type was found in at least two sources: W49N and W33B. Variability of this kind displays itself only in certain states of the water masers. ...

The Python programs offered here result from the development of methodology for processing image data with high precision, in a flexible command line system useful for astronomical and laboratory image processing. ... Alsvid is efficient in robotic and automated or scripted server processing of astronomical images, and also in interactive command line processing for research and visualization. ... In large part it replaces IRAF and IDL when scripted image processing is required. ...
