This repository contains downloadable versions of several HST/ACS webpages with basic Python examples. These code examples are simple and only designed for a limited scope. Users are advised to visit the ACS website, Instrument Handbook, and Data Handbook for more information about the the current status of ACS, instrument specifications, and data analysis.
Users who need help transitioning from IRAF/PyRAF to Python should see the stak-notebooks repository.
For examples of workflows with HST data, please see the CSI notebooks repository (coming soon).
To download the notebooks in this repository, simply open a terminal, go to the directory where you would like the notebooks to be, and type
clone https://github.com/spacetelescope/acs-notebook.git
which will create a new acs-notebook/ directory containing the contents of this repository.
Warning: Before running these examples, you must install or update to the latest version of AstroConda.
Jupyter Notebooks allow code to be packaged with formatted text to create illustrative examples. Users who are unfamiliar with Jupyter Notebooks should also see the short guide for how to use these tools.
