1. General use of CFA settings throughout the process
- Specifying CFA (detect/force a pattern/ignore) appear in ImageCalibration (Flats and Lights), CosmeticCorrection, Debayer and DrizzleIntegration, all of which are part of my processing an imaging session.
- When should I specify this, and how do I know if Detection is the right choice for me? Is there anything from the FITS headers that can help me come up with a rule specific to my equipment and/or imaging capture software? How does my equipment influence these choices? It is assumed that we do all captures with the same equipment (in my case, an OSC CCD).
- How do I know if “Detect CFA” settings are appropriate for my images? Is there something in the FITS headers that I can look for?
2. CFA settings in Image Calibration -> Master Dark
- does it matter on Flats calibration?
- does it matter on Lights calibration?
- my images are saved as FITS and captured with an OSC CCD
- If my process involves a Debayer step after calibration of Lights, does “Detect CFA” matter at all when specifying Darks under ImageCalibration?
Thank you,
