Here we present few "real life" examples of Luiza processing tasks. The steering files presented were used in the analysis of the Pi of the Sky data. Three steps of the analysis are presented.

Reconstructing flat image from dedicated frames

This simple image processing task can be divided into the following steps:

Read flat images for each night considered
Average flat images for each night
Read dark images for each night
Calculate master dark (median) for each night
Subtract master dark from average flat for each night
Calculate average flat (for all nights)
Smooth resulting flat image
Write final image to file

Normalizing and running astrometry for collected frames

This analysis, preformed on the series of images from one night, includes following steps:

Read flat image (only once)
Read dark images (only once)
Calculate master dark image (median from collected images)
Read input raw image (source of data for main analysis loop)
Normalize image (subtract dark, divide by flat)
Find stars on the image (pixel clusters)
Reject "bad" clusters (hotpixels etc.)
Run astrometry
Write final image to file

One should notice that by giving path name only as the file root (FitsFileNameRoot parameter in ImageWriter processor) the output images will have the same file names as the input images (but will be placed in different catalog).

Matching objects on the image with sky catalog and image calibration

This analysis task can be divided into following steps

Read star catalogs (local copy of Tycho converted to FITS table format)
Select catalog objects in the required RA,Dec range
Read input images (resulting from the previous analysis, i.e. normalized and with astrometry results stored)
Find stars (pixel clusters)
Reject "bad" clusters
Calculate aperture photometry for clusters
Apply astrometry results
Match objects with the catalog
Calibrate frame base on Tycho V magnitudo
Write calibrated objects to root tree file
