This guide gives step-by-step instructions on how to use SalsaJ to carry out basic data analysis (plotting profiles, making animations, making colour images, measuring lengths, photometry) on astronomical data files.

These 3 data files are .fz files of the M51 spiral galaxy, downloaded from the LCO archive. They can be used to practise the basic data analysis tasks in SalsaJ detailed above.

These 3 data files can be used to practise making an animation in SalsaJ. Spot the asteroid!
