Below is the most recent flat medians plot.
Before 2016, 70.0 should be minimum transmission corrected values. After 2016, 60.0 should be good.
I have the code ready to create all the darks/flats again and log differences in the passing by the old and new thresholds. I will need to untar each month of raw data as the processing progresses.
The calculation of the minimum threshold for the median of flats is currently computed via line 337 of
comp_make_flat.pro
:where
norm
is the transmission computed for the day withcomp_transmission
andmin_flat_median_offset
is an epoch value that is currently always 20.0.But the median of the flat image has been normalized already, so
norm - min_flat_median_offset
shouldn't be a function of date. So the threshold should be computed:where
min_flat_median_offset
has a constant value. We need to find this value through analysis of the flat medians.Note, by 20110622, there are not as many flats currently marked as bad, and the bad ones are just barely bad, from the logs from 20110622:
