Back to the future 🙂✌️
It definitely says something about me that I find it very exciting to know a version of IRAF that’ll run native on an M1/M2 MacBook Pro is being released by NOIRLab 😍
I’ll leave it to you to fill in exactly what it says about me, mind you 🤷♂️
(And yes, I know that Community IRAF 2.17 already exists for macOS – how do you think those #JWST images of Orion, HH211, & HH212 got made? 🤪)
