Scientific paper

MAESTRO is a software package developed by the University of Delaware and the Delaware Asteroseismic Research Center (DARC) specializing in "high speed photometry" reduction. MAESTRO's current development focus is upgrading the Whole Earth Telescope's (WET) reduction pipeline and providing tools for the analysis of pulsating white dwarfs. In a recent WET run (XCOV27), MAESTRO's routines demonstrated improvements in overall processed data quality and ease of use in comparison to similar IRAF reductions. These improvements stem from advanced centering and tracking algorithms tuned for low S/N high speed photometry as well as an the implementation of an intuitive graphical user interface. In addition to high speed photometry reduction and analysis tools for the pulsating white dwarf research community, MAESTRO is intended as a platform for any astronomy and physics application. The modular structure of MAESTRO will allow independent lines of development and specialization.
