pi_red_frame program description

1. General description

pi_red_frame program is the program for making reduction ( dark subtracion and flat division ) , but it is also capable of making average of several
frames before. In case average is required ( see -sum option ) program automaticaly detects change of coordinates bigger then limit of 0.1 deg
and makes average only of frames of same center coordinates. Program automatically detects size of image

pi_red_frame -h

In the later section each option will be described in detail

2. Program options :

Program call is the following :

pi_red_frame LIST_FILE_NAME OPTIONS

Option Name
Description
DEFAULT
-max_coord_change Maximal change of frame center coordinates RA or DEC to stop current average and start new one, in degrees
0.1
-max_shift_arcsec
same as above but in arcsec
360
-cut_border
if border is cut after reduction default border is (left,up,right,bottom) = (24,8,8,8)
(24,8,8,8)
-nocompr
resulting reduced fits files are not compressed - this is due to fact that it seems that
photometry program works much wors on fitc files !!!???
no set
-processed_list
name of file in which list of processed files is stored
-
-outlist
name of file in which list of resulting fits files is stored
output_list
-asas_num
in case numbering must be continued since some specific number, it should be provided here
0
-outdir
-out
-dir
name of output directory where fits files are stored
current dir
-list
if process list of files provided as first parameter of the script
FALSE
maybe change to TRUE ???
-dark
if subtract dark and name of dark frame file
FALSE
-flat
if divide by flat and name of flat field file
FALSE
-fv
vertical flip
FALSE
-fh
horizontal flip
FALSE
-sum
if average several number of frames before reduction , number of frames to be averaged must be provided :
-sum=20 , In case coordinate of center will change after several - let's say 10 frames , they will be averaged
Maybe some minimum should be required here ( not to use 1 or 2 in average )  - as in summ program
FALSE
-aver_last
if averege last frames ( in case they are not in amount required - 20 for example ) : it must be called as :
-aver_last=1
FALSE
