Mr. Tody,

Our group is involved in supernova patrol and detection.
We are looking for an IRAF programmer who can write a
script that will add an automated detection step to the
analysis.

I would appreciate any leads you could offer.  Many
thanks in advance.

M. Schwartz

Sorry for the delay in responding, I was at the AAS meeting last week.

There are many folks who could do this, but so far as I know no one does
it commercially so it is hard to know who to recommend.  Usually a site
has people locally who are familar with IRAF who write such scripts.  We
do some contract work ourselves for outside sites (mainly NASA), but this
is mostly for larger projects and it usually involves extending IRAF rather
than writing custom support for some instrument.  How big a project did
you have in mind?

One approach that might work would be to post your query to an Internet
newsgroup and/or one of the mail exploders.
