Can we do better than max_factor? #2

Closed andresgur closed 2 years ago

andresgur commented 3 years ago

Right now the last bin explored in the radial profile is computed as the region size * max_factor where max_factor is an integer.

I was thinking whether we could devise a better way to determine the last radius to be explored.

e.g. can we set the code to stop when reaching 95% of the PSF?

how about we check when the background becomes comparable to the source and use that as the last radius for the PSF too?
