X-ray rotation modulation collimators, such as the one on Ariel 5, allow an image of the X-ray emission from a region of the sky to be reconstructed. Computer image processing techniques are described which make possible accurate determinations of source intensities, spectra and positions. Previously identified sources can be recognized by the computer system and used to accurately determine the spacecraft attitude. Positions of other X-ray sources can be deduced with high precision, which permits comparison of X-ray observations with optical or radio observations.
