How to Use Maxim DL for CCD Image Reduction (Abstract)

Volume 38 number 2 (2010)

Abstract

(Abstract only) This goal of this talk is to present a standard way of performing CCD image calibration and reduction using maxim dl software. The presentation consists of two parts: the first, in which the steps to follow for image calibration are introduced, and the second, where it is explained how to perform the photometry using, in this case, a reference star to obtain magnitudes as a function of photon counts instead of determining it differentially.
