KOALA

KOALA, the Kilofibre Optical AAT Lenslet Array, is a wide-field, high efficiency, integral field unit used by the AAOmega spectrograph on the 3.9m AAT (Anglo-Australian Telescope) at Siding Spring Observatory. PyKOALA is the forthcoming data reduction pipeline for creating science-ready 3D data cubes using Raw Stacked Spectra (RSS) images created with 2dfdr.

    git remote add upstream https://github.com/pykoala/koala
  1. Create a branch to work on the changes:
    git checkout -b <new_branch>
  1. Add and commit changes
  2. Push up your changes
  3. Create a PR, and wait for someone to review it

Reviewing commits
