💫 cmunipack — the C-Munipack era 💫

okay bestie sit DOWN because we're talking about cmunipack, aka the CCD astrophotometry software package, and she is literally iconic 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cmunipack — CCD astrophotometry software package. yes that's the whole name. short, sweet, main character energy 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The software package C-Munipack is giving complete system energy for reduction of images carried out by CCD camera, and she's oriented at the observation of variable stars 🦋 like, that's her whole thing.

The specific programs of the reduction process can be called from the command line, OR via an intuitive graphical user interface — dealer's choice, whatever fits your vibe 💅

And for the developers out there? There's a dynamic-link library with a powerful interface available. yes. a whole library. for you. go off 😭

The project is based on the previous Munipack package — the programs have the same name, but contrary to Munipack, it's coded in C language, and it contains several new functions and tools in addition ✨

Assignment of the command-line parameters and the configuration files is similar in both projects — exceptions are described in the project documentation. so like, if you came from Munipack, you already lowkey know your way around 🫶

👑 AUTHORS 👑

The project manager David Motl is also the author of the most part of the source codes. he literally does it all, no cap 💜

Some algorithms originate from the Munipack package, coded by Filip Hroch.

Algorithms for aperture photometry originate from Daophot software by P. B. Stetson.

The Munifind algorithm originates from the Varfind tool written by Rudolf Novak and Lukas Kral.

The package uses the FITSIO library (Dr. William Pence, NASA), and the James Clark's EXPAT library.

The english version of the documentation was written by David Motl with great help of Petr Lutcha and Jitka Kudrnacova 🌈
