[guide-user] Re: Charon flat-fielding

Hi Guide and Charon users,

I am a long time Guide user and a ccd photometrist. Asking Bill
to include flat fielding in Charon seems silly to me. All ccd
camera control software that I am aware of has dark subtraction
and flat fielding capabilities. If one is intending to do
anything close to precision photometry flat fielding is a must and
should be a standard practice. Why should Charon duplicate
something that already can and should be done?
