NAME

bias.csh - generates bias frames

SYNOPSIS

bias.csh

DESCRIPTION

bias.csh is a script which takes a series of exposures of with zero length exposures to determine the d.c. offset (bias) level of the CCD. The procedure first places the U filter (to make it even darker) then takes five frames and then calculates the median. The DATID must be specified in the environment, so that the resulting file can have a name. If the median procedure is successful, the file is copied to the file DATA_DIR/flats/bias.fts, where DATA_DIR is found in ait.config The resulting file is used by ccdproc
