Record postage stamp background level in fits extension #3

Closed mmfausnaugh closed 2 years ago

mmfausnaugh commented 2 years ago

This is a suggestion not an issue. It may be useful to end users to record the sky background subtracted in each postage stamp before calculating centroids. This could provide helpful spatial and time background estimates that end user pipelines could use to identify troublesome scattered light data. Easy to store in the reference star fits extension as a new column.

Added this in pull request #12 . We will at some point compile the ext1 BInary tables from the FITS files and amke a data cube, which might provide a good set of light curves for cotrending.
