[Jae-Joon Lee]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the release of pywcsgrid2 0.1b1.

pywcsgrid2 is a python module to be used with matplotlib for
displaying astronomical fits images. It provides a custom Axes class
(derived from mpl's original Axes class) suitable for displaying fits
images. Its main functionality is to draw ticks, ticklabels, and grids
in an appropriate sky coordinates.

For a sampling, take a look at the gallery
