💖 IMSTACK(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is imstack, section 1 of the manual (user commands, the fun section), and it lives in the EB_SOURCE era — February 2026 vibes only. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

imstack — AME

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

imstack [-vi][-o filename][-n num] file1.fits file2.fits ... filen.fits

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the whole ~thing~ here? you take a bunch of FITS or IRAF images and you stack them into ONE single FITS image. iconic behaviour, honestly. 💅

and then there's the alternate form, which is literally this:

or : imstack [-vi][-n num] @filelist

bestie the flag rundown is RIGHT here, i'm not gatekeeping:

  • -i — do NOT put a FITS header in the output file. like, no header, we said what we said 🙈
  • -n num — use each file this many times (num is how many, in case that wasn't clear lol)
  • -m — write an IRAF multispec file
  • -o name — output filename, name being... the name. you got this 💖
  • -v — verbose, aka let it yap 📢
  • -x root — make the first file the root and the others extensions ✨

🎀 a lil sign-off 🎀

this whole page is imstack coming at ya from the EB_SOURCE source, dated February 2026 — and that's the tea, bestie. slay, stack responsibly, and don't forget your headers (unless you passed -i, in which case... correct, you did that on purpose 💀). periodt. 👑🌈
