SAOImage DS9

SAOImage DS9 serves as a complete workstation for astronomical data analysis centered on the FITS standard. It integrates a multitude of professional-grade tools into a cohesive environment. Handle complex binary table data, create and modify geometric regions for analysis, and juggle numerous images in separate buffers. The application's strength lies in its depth: apply various scaling algorithms to optimize contrast and choose from numerous colormaps to best represent your data. This makes DS9 indispensable for tasks ranging from initial data inspection to preparing publication-quality graphics and performing quantitative analysis.
