SKY

This is equivalent to the RUN command, but intended for sky exposures rather than observations of astronomical targets.

Format: SKY <channel> <time> [``<string>'']

Channel: The name of the CCD data acquisition channel to be used.

Time: The exposure time in seconds

Title: A title for the observation (optional)

Examples : SKY TAURUS 1.5 TITLE="Twilight flatfield; B filter"

Comments: As for the RUN command, except that the observation type is set in the headers as being a sky flat field.
