__Calibration details from Rob__
Hi Dave, After our conversation here is a summary of calibration. 1. Take 50 Darks, median combine them to make a master. The dark length should be equal to or longer than the individual subs you are going to use. 2. Take 50 Bias frames, median combine and make a master 3. take at least 16 flats of length such that you are in the middle of the linear response of the CCD - usually 25-30K ADU. Flats will always have to be taken fresh after each night's work but the master Darks and bias can be used for 6 months or longer. Strictly speaking the flat frames need to be dark applied but with your short length of exposures I wouldn't bother. The calibration routines in Maxim should take care of the rest. Happy dark frames...
