Iris is observerly's zero-dependency, multi-thread, thread-safe pure Go library for interoperating with ASCOM Alpaca API exposure data structures and the FITS astronomical image format, providing a repeatable pipeline for astrophotographic image processing.
Iris automatically normalizes, composaites, aligns and stacks your FITS images. The in-memory architecture with randomized batching is designed to touch each file exactly once and requires no temporary files, scaling to use all available CPU cores efficiently.
Make sure you have Go installed. Version '1.17.x', or higher is required, and has been tested against.
Simply initialize your project by creating a folder and then running go mod init github.com/your/repo inside the repository.
Then install Iris with the go get command:
go get -u github.com/observerly/iris
