Up: Image quality with

B. Image processing software

c128 is an IRAF package for processing imaging data from either adaptive optics or speckle instruments preferably in the infrared since the photon noise contribution is not taken into account. The main strength of c128 is to handle cubes of images. It has been extensively used to produce the results shown in this document. c128 is a standard IRAF package with an online help and is available on anonymous-ftp from the hplyot.obspm.fr internet-site in the iraf_hra directory. c128 is provided for the convenience of all users with no warranty of accuracy or usability.
