quick notes on Data Set 20
I'm working on images from DS20; my first goal is to compare the
photometric precision and accuracy of analysis with night-sky flats
vs. analysis with light-box flats. Some early results:
- light-box and night-sky flats do have significantly different
"shapes"
- light box flats are pretty consistent after box is rotated
by 90 degrees; the ratio of rotated to non-rotated
flats differed from unity by at most 0.06% in V,
1.3% in I
- I'm pretty sure that the filter names are swapped from their
proper values in the FITS headers for disks 6,7,8.
That is, files with names like
hvra2239820.fits and FILTER = 'V'
are really I-band, and vice versa.
I haven't checked the values for the other disks...
More notes later. Just thought people might like to know about
the FILTER mixup -- if I'm wrong, please correct me!
