Sorry for the late reply, I was hoping other would chime in with what they found most useful and then I forgot about the posting. The first thing to look at is the draft Beginner's Guide which is available as ftp://iraf.noao.edu/pub/beguide.ps.Z Our FAQ (http://iraf.noao.edu/faq) is mostly system stuff but will help you through most installation, image display, etc problems. All of the documentation we have is available from our web pages, these include various cookbooks to help you through reducing various kinds of data. Lastly, there are exercises available to help you get started from ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/misc as exer211.tar.Z, see the readme file for details. All of this material is available from the UK mirror site at ftp://star.rl.ac.uk/pub/iraf or http://star-www.rl.ac.uk/iraf as well. Hope this helps, if you still have problems or questions feel free to post here or write iraf@noao.edu. Cheers, Mike Fitzpatrick

To, Mike Firzpatrick
Thank you for the reply to my posting.
I was surprised at the amount of help available for beginners, especially
the exercises, which i am looking forward to doing when i have got a
appropriate workstation.
