In my relentless effort to try and keep my astronomy and physics skills honed I have decided to re-open an old project with some new ideas. Of course, this means I must relearn how to use a lot of tools that over time I have forgotten. One thing I haven’t forgotten and has thus been once again re-affirmed is how much astronomers do not understand how to program. I really really wish there was a nice package for image reduction and analysis that did not latch on to IRAF like a mother suckling its young. The giant frustration begins!
