Primitives

POTPyRI primitives handle calibration, image processing, file sorting, WCS solving, photometry, and absolute photometry (zeropoint fitting). All of these are used by the main pipeline.

Package overview

POTPyRI primitives: calibration, image processing, sorting, WCS, photometry, absphot.
