Multi-subset calibration at once.
You can create master Bias/Dark/Flat files with one click.
Save your calibrated/aligned/reduced files anywhere you want.
Manually align tab added.
Auto star finder added with alipy and SExtractor.
Multi-source photometry tab added.
Multi-aperture photometry.
Graphics tab added for result file (.my files) plotting.
Editor tab revised and “Header editor” can delete any keyword.
