Workshops at Subaru and Keck
Please be sure your laptop is properly configured before the workshop by following the installation and setup instructions.
Warning: Installation and setup could take as long as one hour depending on your current configuration and internet speeds. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY OF THE WORKSHOP.
That material is in the folder 02-PythonIntro. A link to that -- so that you can read it even if you have not used Python before -- is here. Click on the individual notebooks, whose names end .ipynb, to open them.
Doing this before the workshop will put you in a better position to follow along with the workshop materials.
At both sets of workshops there will be science use cases integrated into the presentation topics.
Note that the materials are very similar between the two workshops, although the emphasis on the Subaru and Keck days are slightly different.

The goal of the workshops is threefold:
- Increase the adoption of Astropy (both core astropy and Astropy Affiliated packages) in the workflow of Hawaii Island Observatories.
- Encourage participation of observatory scientists and developers in the development of astropy and Astropy Affiliated packages.
- Identify priority areas for Astropy development to facilitate adoption of astropy and Astropy Affiliated packages.
References to the Astropy documentation and other resources are below.:

ccdproc package documentation and a more extended guide to image reduction with ccdproc

Other tools we can answer questions about, but probably won't discuss in detail:
We encourage you to submit any problems or questions you have to this repository issue tracker by choosing the "Question from workshop participant" issue template.
Materials from past workshops can be found in other branches on this repo and in the past-astropy-workshops repo.
