     1* create the database:
     2
     3 dbadmin project alala ipp gpctest
     4 pxadmin -create -dbname gpctest
     5
     6 * inject the files into the new database
     7
     8 ipp_serial_inject_split.pl --telescope PS1 --camera GPC --workdir /data/ipp000.1/gpc1/20070824 --dbname gpctest c*
     9
     10 * run registration step in pantasks
     11
     12  module pantasks.pro
     13  module register.pro
     14  controller host add ipp000
     15  controller host add ipp000
     16  add.database gpctest
     17  run
     18
     19 * the registration is running well, except the headers are missing OBSTYPE keywords, so all images are coming out as "BIAS".  I need to write a script to insert the header keywords based on the NOTE file from the directory

     23I have started to look into the dark, overscan, etc for the images.  Paul and I used the focal plane layout gif from the camera wiki to generate the table of chip positions in the fpa (rough, integer chip offsets) so we are able to build full fpa mosaics and chip mosaics using the IPP tools.  We build an M31 image with no processing other than stitching the cells and chips together.

     27I have also generated an overscan subtracted image for M31 (c4336g0123o).  At least some of the overscans have a hot column at the end of the overscan region.  I have set the recipe to use the median to calculate the overscan value, and keep only a single value from the full region.  We will add a concept to window down the overscan region before calculating the stats.
     28
     29The overscan-subtracted M31 image looks already fairly nice.  The sky is generally flat.  It is possible to see some of the dust lanes in M31.  There are some interesting features: there is a strong glow feature in chip 5,6 and another in chip 6,2.  there is a clear dark-current pattern in the corners of all or most of the chips.

     33I have also generated an overscan-subtracted dark image from the 100s dark image (c4336g0108d).  Applying that image straight partially corrects the dark current.  Applying it with multiplied by a scale-factor of 2.8 yields a much better subtraction.
