[AstroPy] got centroid?

[Adrian Price-Whelan]

This may not help you because it's not so smart, but to zeroth order, you can 
do something like this:

import scipy.ndimage as snd
labels, num = snd.label(imageData > (2.*sigma), np.ones((3,3)))
starCoordinates = snd.center_of_mass(imageData, labels, range(1,num+1))

Obviously it's making some nasty assumptions about the image, but it's at 
least a place to start.
