In order to make wavelets and other multiscale transforms more accessible to the solar and astrophysics community, I have begun the development of a free IDL toolbox called Mkit. The goal of Mkit is to provide the community with a documented, user-friendly toolbox for multiscale analysis of timeseries, images and data cubes. In this presentation I present examples of the first stage in this development, a set of tools for wavelet analysis of image data. I will also discuss future additions to the toolbox. Wavelets and other multiscale transforms have been increasingly used in astronomy and solar physics over the last ten years. In spite of this these transforms have not yet become a standard part of analysis tools. One reason is that most of the world's experts in multiscale transforms are mathematians and electrical engineers. These groups have made code freely available but it is almost exclusively written for MATLAB. Another reason is that the two main multiscale toolboxes for IDL are not free and can cost upwards of $2000. Mkit will help to address these needs of the solar and astrophysics community. This work is funded by the NASA SESDA contract.
