Making Mosaic Images

To make a custom image when corrected frames are in the standard place (under /data/dp3.b/data/...).

  1. Copy any plan.par in the /data/dp7.c/users/skent/sdssmosaic area to a new file, e.g. "niftyobj.par" in your local directory.
  2. Edit the following parameters:
    1. "cdRun" to the desired run (e.g. 752)
    2. "cdFields" to the desired field or range of fields (e.g 57-59)
    3. "camcols" to desired value or values (make a TCL list, e.g. "4 5")
    4. "matchRn" should either be the matching run needed to make a complete stripe or blank (e.g., 752)
    5. matchFields should be supplied but left blank - the range of matching fields is determined from the astrometry file.
  3. setup kentools
  4. Run "imgMain"
