Abstract
Several image processing systems have been developed and used at MIT to calibrate and analyze two dimensional images and spectra of astronomical objects. An interactive system allows creative processing under direct control of the astronomer and a batch system enables the astronomer to process large numbers of images while requiring little of his time. System descriptions and a list of processing routines are given.
