Example Datasets

This is a list of example datasets proposed for photutils (see https://github.com/astropy/photutils/issues/54):

• A Hubble deep field RGB JPEG image with AVM WCS info has recently been added to scikit-image: https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/986
• imexam uses some optical images: http://imexam.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
• Here some CCD example images are used: https://github.com/astropy/photutils/issues/42
• Here some Spitzer images are used: https://github.com/astropy/photutils/issues/43
• Fermi LAT: https://github.com/gammapy/gammapy/tree/master/gammapy/datasets/fermi
• Simulated in findobj : https://github.com/larrybradley/findobj/blob/master/findobj/tests/test_findstars.py#L136
• Use Astrometric tools to simulate some example datasets?
• Infrared images from IRSA. I (@stargaser) have some Python code to retrieve WISE or 2MASS images. More interesting would be to download a Spitzer image from one of the large programs. I'd like the examples to include use of photutils on a calibrated image in MJy/sr or Jy/pixel units and show how to get proper units out.
