+""" STWCS
+
+This package provides support for WCS based distortion models and coordinate 
+transformation. It relies on PyWCS (based on WCSLIB). It consists of two subpackages:
+updatewcs and wcsutil. Updatewcs performs corrections to the basic WCS and includes 
+other distortion infomation in the science files as header keywords or file extensions.
+Wcsutil provides an HSTWCS object which extends pywcs.WCS object and provides HST instrument
+specific information as well as methods for coordinate tarnsformaiton. Wcsutil also provides 
+functions for manipulating alternate WCS descriptions in the headers.
