current master frames, overview of all four quadrants
QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
QC1 DB names: median_master | sigma_master | structure All parameters are calculated by the pipeline recipe.
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
median_master: median of central 1000x1000 pixels of master
sigma_master: standard deviation of central 1600x1800 pixels of master
structure: sigma_master minus standard deviation of central 1600x1800 pixels of difference from master and master shifted by 10x10, devided by sqrt(2)
median_master is calculated by skyflat.prg, other parameters by pipeline recipe
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
presence of stellar features in master frame;
unusual structure if not representative
COMMENTS quadrant 3 has always a specific large scale structure
