Basic Calibration
Keep it simple – same basic math as for CCDs.
- Output Image = (Light – Dark) / Normalized (Flat – Flat-Dark)
- Take all calibration and light frames at the exact same sensor temperature, including flats.
- Use the exact same gain levels and sensor operating modes for all frames.
- Do not use bias frames.
- Do not use exposure scaling.
- Take dark frames matching your light frames.
- Take dark frames matching your flat-field frames.
- Use lots of frames.
- Calibrate your flats using matching master dark frames.
- Calibrate your lights using matching master dark frames.
- Try different flat-field exposure times (and flat-darks) and compare results quantitatively.
- Finally, as described above, if you like to reuse calibration frames for a period of time, be aware that large ambient temperature changes or even a simple firmware update could potentially change the camera characteristics. This may require reshooting calibration sets more frequently than you are used to.
