Eratta Data Set 19
Most of you should have Data Set 19. There is an error in the notes as to
what is on the Flat run, DS191.
This run has the following sequence:
1 Bias (About 2 seconds)
1 Dark (100 second)
7 Object (100 second)
1 Dark
7 Object
1 Dark
7 Object
1 Dark
1 Object
For a total of 27 frames.
For the frames, the telescope is fast forwarded for 5 seconds between each
frame. This causes the telescope to track the same range of sky
(approximately) as on the following runs were it follows the sky. The
stars are in different positions on each frame so that the frames can be
median combined for a flat field. I have done this and it looks pretty
good to me. It is even pretty good when the flat field is used for a
different night. By "pretty good" I mean that the flat field is about as
good as the noise.
