Hi guys
After many cloudy nights I have at last managed an evening of imaging. I have a dual boot laptop with Windows 7 and Linux Mint. I have been using Ekos in Linux to control the mount and ccd`s and managed a number of spectra in fits format but when I come to process them in ISIS using Windows 7 for some reason ISIS can`t `see` them and I`m at a loss why this is so as all my other windows spectrum apps ,Rspec,BASS,Visspec etc have no problems seeing these fits files. I have double checked the working directory path file and even copied all the fits into a windows directory so everything is Windows based for ISIS?. It seems that ISIS can only see a fits file if it was taken through Windows and maybe Linux does something to the fits files that ISIS doesn`t like?. Anyone any ideas please?
thanks
Steve

Well pleased to report I`ve got ISIS working fine now in Linux/Wine!. I made the silly mistake of having `fit` checked instead of `fits`

Hello Steve,

Sorry for the late answer.
There is a software that let Linux users doing astro (ccd acquisition, telescope goto, processing, etc.): Audela (http://audela.org).
It also manage spectra processing with its dedicated tool: SpcAudace.
More info about it here: http://wsdiscovery.free.fr/spcaudace/

It processes all slit spectrographs with very simple and all in one pipelines:
