Calibration exposures

To calibrate your data, you will need to carry out the following types of exposure. The reduction of the calibration data is covered in Section 6. Distortion mapping exposures have already been covered in Section 4.8.

• Flatfielding
• Wavelength calibration
• Flux calibration
