Update tutorial notebooks example code for fix_bad_pixels bpclean #161

Open mperrin opened 3 months ago

mperrin commented 3 months ago

@juliengirard says that in recent testing by him and @asahooexo, they are finding that for fix_bad_pixels it is too severe to set the threshold at 3 sigma ( bpclean_kwargs={'sigclip': 3,). In some cases this results in bright speckles in the PSF core being masked out as bad. Setting sigma to 5 or 7 seems better.

It would be nice to update the tutorial notebooks to have values which work pretty well in general, so this seems like a good simple change.

There may be other updates in bad pixel cleaning recommended settings as well. Pending future feedback from @juliengirard and @asahooexo.

Just a quick update that I am planning to take an in depth look at the pixel cleaning in May.
