SKYPIC Astronomical Image Generating Program

SKYPIC is a program for mapping astronomical source catalogs into images based on their numbers or fluxes. It is written in Fortran and C for Unix workstations by Doug Mink of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Telescope Data Center. If you just need maps, use SKYMAP.
