Starfinder is an IDL code for the deep analysis of stellar fields, designed for Adaptive Optics well-sampled images, characterized by a complex and highly structured Point Spread Function;
The Point Spread Function is extracted directly from the frame, to take into account the actual structure of the instrumental response and the atmospheric effects;
The code is written in IDL language and organized in the form of a self-contained widget-based application, provided with a series of tools for data visualization and analysis.
