[AstroPy] Project Examples

[Peter Dzwig]

Kenneth,

those are great examples. I wrote some code a few years back to do much the same
sort of thing and I ended up getting tied up in knots. Having examples like
those would probably have helped me at the time.

As for merging data: it can be done but as many here would probably point out,
it isn't always as straightforward as you think. I am just trying to do exactly
that at present but must say I haven't haven't always been successful,
especially for fainter objects.

Good luck with your projects,

Peter Dzwig

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.
