To add more confusion to the topic of Calibration, I received a recommendation / suggestion on the APT forum by a member to use the following method -
Calibrate your Flats with Dark Flats
Don’t calibrate your Darks or Dark Flats , you only integrate them into a Master Dark and Master Dark Flat
You then calibrate your Flats using the Master Dark Flat , instead of using the Master Dark , and then integrate your Flats into a Master Flat
To clarify my understanding of the Calibration terminology -
Calibrate means to stack your Light frames with specific calibration frames ( dark, flat , dark flat or bias or alternatively a Master ) ?
Master means create a stacked file of the same type of calibration frame to be used with your Light frames in final stacking process ?
Integrate means to stack 2 types of calibration frames to form a single stack Master calibration file ?
Appreciate advice and confirmation on the above ( by the way I use Deep Sky Stacker )
Whoosh ........,
Thanks
