20 Astronomical Image Reduction

OPIS! Lab 1 stuff about looking at your LCO/Skynet images and recognising, are they properly reduced or was there an issue/checking to see if the Calibration Masters are even there in an image.

Bias, Darks and Flats, how that all works and why it’s important. How to do it with your own data (or just use Skynet/LCO because they have pipelines!)

WCS registration. What that is, and how it works, and how to do that manually with your own data.
