Dervish The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is an astrophysics experiment to take 20-30 Terabytes of imaging data and spectroscopic data to map one half of the northern galactic hemisphere. One of the key offline software components of SDSS, is dervish (Survey Human Interface and Visualization Application). Dervish is a collection of routines and executables useful in the offline analysis of astrometric data. The dervish software integrates code developed by the collaboration with other software products developed from independent institutions.
