  Description     : ESO data reduction pipeline for VISIR

This is the data reduction pipeline for the VISIR instrument of the
Very Large Telescope (VLT) from the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
.
The VLT spectrometer and imager for the mid-infrared (VISIR) was built by
CEA/DAPNIA/SAP and NFRA/ASTRON, and is  located at the Cassegrain focus of
UT3. It provides diffraction-limited imaging at high sensitivity in the two
mid infrared (MIR) atmospheric windows: the N band between 8 to 13μm and the Q
band between 16.5 and 24.5μm, respectively. In addition, it features a
long-slitspectrometer with a range of spectral resolutions between 150 and 30000.

The package will be maintained within the debian-astro team. A git repository is
set up at
