This series of PLs consists of a practical exercise of removing instrumental signatures in "raw" images to transform them into "science ready" images.

- Introduction to IRAF CCD image processing software.
- Introduction to the DS9 image display software.
- "Unix Crash Course": file system, permissions, fundamental instructions.
