Overview

Builds folder paths for dark calibration frames.

Dark frames are organized into folders by the following keywords, which allow WBPP to automatically match darks to lights during calibration:

Normal Darks:

  • Dark_ISO__EXP__CCD-TEMP__CAMERA__MONTH_

These keywords enable matching darks to lights based on ISO, exposure time, CCD temperature, and the season (month) when captured. Temperature matching in WBPP allows for +/- 1°C variation to accommodate uncooled cameras.

Flat Darks (short exposure darks < 10 seconds):

  • DarkFlat_FLATSET__ISO__EXP__Bin__CAMERA_

Flat darks are grouped with their corresponding flat set using the FLATSET keyword. Temperature is not included since flats and flat darks are captured at roughly the same time under similar conditions. These are organized together so WBPP can load them as a unit during the flat field calibration step.

See README.md for details on WBPP_Darks and WBPP_Flats process icons.
