What’s New on MYRaf v2.0 Beta:

• Multi-subset calibration at once.
• You can create master Bias/Dark/Flat files with one click.
• Save your calibrated/aligned/reduced files anywhere you want.
• Manually align tab added.
• Auto star finder added with alipy and SExtractor.
• Multi-source photometry tab added.
• Multi-aperture photometry.
• Graphics tab added for result file (.my files) plotting.
• Editor tab revised and “Header editor” can delete any keyword.
• Observatory editor added.
• Settings tab added for user-defined keywords. So, there is no keyword restriction with calibration and photometry.
• Help tab added but not documented in this version. We are sorry about that!
• Cosmic Ray Cleaner added.
