MultiDrizzle

MultiDrizzle automates and simplifies the detection of cosmic-rays and the combination of dithered observations using the Python scripting language and PyRAF, the Python-based interface to IRAF. MultiDrizzle was developed by the Science Software Branch at the Space Telescope Science Institute.

A new Multidrizzle Handbook has been written to describe the algorithms used by Multidrizzle, to provide instructions on how to run MultiDrizzle, to provide an extensive set of examples, and to describe the parameters used by MultiDrizzle. The Handbook can be accessed either as a static PDF document or as static HTML pages

Updates or corrections to the officially reviewed PDF or HTML documents can be found in the What's New section of the future Multidrizzle Handbook. This document receives updates as MultiDrizzle develops. It is, however, is an evolving draft of the manual and new sections may be updated at any time, and may not always be entirely accurate as they get updated. Therefore, we recommend using it only if the information you need has likely been affected by an update or a member of the STScI staff has suggested you read the wiki for your particular topic.
You can download MultiDrizzle as part of the complete stsci_python package from our download page
