GIMP

Basic Color Imaging with DS9 and Gimp

Discipline: 
This guide will take you through the steps you need to find and create your own color image using data from the LCOGT archive, DS9 and the Gimp. You can do this with sample data available from the public archive, or with data from your own observations if you have an account. After doing this activity you should be able to:

* Use DS9 to scale an image and save it in jpg format
* Use the GIMP to combine the jpg files into one color image

  • Existing collaborators can apply for observing time.
  • Our archive of scientific observations with the Faulkes Telescopes.
  • A scientific community forum.
  • Monitoring microlensing events in the Galactic Bulge.
  • Lectures about astronomy by scientists visiting LCOGT
  • See what is happening at our network sites.
