Documentation for ImageCalibration

[bitli]

Long time ago I wrote a documentation for ImageCalibration as a pidoc. For some reason it was never integrated in the release (it is possible that it contains error or my english is too bad).  It seems that the process did not change that much, so I uploaded it in a cloned repository of Reference-documentation: https://gitlab.com/bitli/Reference-Documentation, it is under tools/ImageCalibration.
Maybe somebody could check it and possibly correct it so that it could be included in the official release, if Juan is interested.
I have attached a PDF printout of the generated page.

In fact it was in that topic https://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=7149.new;topicseen#new
Do you want me to make a pull request on the official directory ?

I forgot that thread completely, what a shame.

Yes, a pull request is the best way to keep everything organized.

From that thread:

well, I retire in a few years, maybe if the doc is not finished by that time

The documentation has been added to PixInsight 1.8.8-5.
Do not hesitate to signal errors (grammatical or factual).

This is an informative summary. I appreciate that it is added to the documantation. I found only one point:

In section 1.1 Image Calibration, item 9.:
The scaling factor (the mean) of the flat is calculated,...
