help with SAOImage

mlshaw@my-dejanews.com wrote on Jan 22, 1999

Greetings listers.  I'm and undergrad astro major and I just got set up with
IRAF.  I'll be using this with SAOImage to study a hubble image of a
wind-blown dust bubble.  THe problem is that I have NEVER used either of
these programs before and, while my advisor will be helping me with most of
the calculations, I'd like to develop some familiarity with IRAF and
SAOImage.  Does anyone know of a tutorial or something that I could look at? 
THanks in advance...

Monica

P.S.  If possibly, please reply to my email address -- I do not check news
very often.
