Calibrations

Hokupa'a/QUIRC calibrations consist of the usual near-IR imaging calibrations (darks, flats, linearity, etc.) plus calibrations specific to the adaptive optics imaging. Flat-fielding is to be carried out using the facility calibration unit prior to and after the night. You may also need to obtain a point-spread function calibration. See the PSF Calibration page for more information.

Information, catalogues and a search engine for photometric standard stars are available.
