Convert raw data to fits

In order to convert raw image from camera to fits image, we use dcraw and convert commands. To install these libraries in macOS use:

brew install dcraw
brew install imagemagick@6
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/homebrew/opt/imagemagick@6/bin"' >> ~/.zshrc

To install dcraw on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y dcraw
sudo apt-get install -y netbpm

In order to convert raw photos to FITS, put raw photos in directory data/raw and run

bash process_raw.sh

FITS photos will be written in directory data/fits
