Astropy - Python Library for Astronomy projects.

Astropy is very useful and important python programing library for Astronomers and Astrophysicists.


It provides many useful functions and astronomical constants.


You can use functions in the library for your Astronomy projects which may be related to calculations or working with FITS image file such as accessing information form it.

Astronomy Python - Crab Nebula - Combine RGB channel images into One Image

Image
 In Astronomy, Image taken by cameras would be based on specific filters(channels)-Red, Green, Blue. Below are the the images taken across 3 channels. Red(Left), Green(Centre), Blue(Right) Original image credit(single image which is not shown here)- Credits: NASA, ESA, J. Hester and A. Loll (Arizona State University) Below is result after combining above 3 channel images Below is the python code used. Original Carb Nebula image is spitted    into 3 channels(as shown 3 gray images above) *************************************************** from PIL import Image # Open the red, green, and blue channel images red_channel = Image.open('E:\\astronomy_related\\rbg_one\\red.png') green_channel=Image.open('E:\\astronomy_related\\rbg_one\\green.png') blue_channel =Image.open('E:\\astronomy_related\\rbg_one\\blue.png') # Create a new RGB image result = Image.merge("RGB", (red_channel, green_channel, blue_channel)) # Save the result image result.save('E:\\astr...

Astronomy Python - Mars Planet Surface - Creating Sharpen Image from Blur Image

Image
   In Astronomy, sometimes the images send by satellite/telescope could be Blur and one would be interested to make the image Sharpe. The Kernel (it is matrix representation) is to process the image -from Blur image to Sharpe Image. Convolution Matrix, Mask, Matrix/Array are the other names given to the Kernel.                           Below is the example of Mars Surface Blur Image Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Below is the processed image which has now become  Sharpe Image   Please  open both images to see the effect.7 Below is the python code used. ****************************************************************** # load the required packages import cv2 import numpy as np # load the image into system memory image = cv2.imread('E:\\astronomy_related\\blurr_to_clear_image\\marssurface_blurr.jpg', flags=cv2.IMREAD_COLOR) # display the blurr image to the screen cv2.imshow('Mars Surface blurr...
