LGSAO Software
One of the goals of the Keck laser guide star
adaptive optics (LGSAO) science verification effort is to provide
tools and techniques for the planning and analysis of LGSAO
observations to the Keck user community.
For the time being, this page will include LGSAO planning and NIRC2
analysis tools writen by the Keck AO team or astronomers collaborating
on the science verification effort.
We welcome contributions by all users of the Keck AO system.
All software is of course provided as is, with no warranty or support
implied.
