IRAF Paso a Paso Forewords This is a brief, introductory course on IRAF, written by a IRAF user, rather than by an IRAF programmer. I have tried to clarify those points which may present problems to first-time users. The course is focused on the IRAF structure and language, and won't provide any info on how to process and analyze astronomical images and data. I suggest that you try the various examples presented here, experiment freely with similar IRAF tasks, different combinations of parameters, on a variety of image formats and types, etc. These pages might also be used as a quick reference, even if they are not exhaustive or complete at all. This manual is in constant evolution, as existing topics may be revised or new contents added. I will be happy to receive comments, critics and suggestions on how to improve this presentation. Also, if you would like me to add (or expand on) a specific subject, just send me an email:
