• The latest release of the Imaging Cookbook is available on the web.
• The development version of the cookbook is available (read only!) from USG Subversion.

The processing of the MSSS observations will be done in an automated way by means of a few pipelines that will be started automatically using the scheduler and SAS/MAC.
