Here are some early notes on routines developed to gather and access image calibration data.
Here I collect work to finalize an automated XY match routine for the purpose of wcs calibration. Images for developing and testing this: 20191018T024545.3_acm_sci.fits Typical acm image. Rsco2043.fits ccd-processed V PFC image of the N3379 field. Rsco3226.fits ccd-processed R PFC image of the N7479 field. Rsco5261.fits ccd-processed R PFC image of the N6946 field.

The detailed goal list as of Jan9,2020: 0) Review how dssbase_run_markII runs: dssbase_run_markII 20191018T024545.3_acm_sci.radec 2.5 19.0 21.5 none N 1) Have fitslists make an input file for running dss_store_markII 2) Run dss_store_markII on my two test images in /home/sco/tmp/S listed in list.0 Document dss_store_markII to show examples of the two basic operational modes to gather support data. 4) For each image in an input list, identify the appropriate cal material in my dss_store database. 5) Make a tool to easily review the images+cal materia. A two panel ds9 plot with objects overplotted on the DSS image would seem to be good. Working on: dssbase_review Jan30,2019 ========== 0-3 are finished from the above list. Have 4,5 to go. 1) dssbase_list to provide basic summary list of StoreDSS contents 2) Install dssbase_list call into dssbase_review. 3) Have dssbase_review show each DSS image with the USNO,PS1 source overplotted.
