Dear group, maybe this is interesting for some of you. I ported some of the functionality of the IDL astrolib library to Mathematica to enable the overlay of an celestial coordinate grid on top of an astronomical FITS image. I also used the new Documentation building capabilities of Workbench 2.0 to build some help pages and bundled everything together. The result is something I called WCSTools and can be downloaded from my website: http://www.astro.uni-koeln.de/staff/roellig/WCSTools The package is still very much in beta status but usable nevertheless. Cheers, Markus Roellig
