MIRSI IMAGE REDUCTION STEPS AT IRTF (Version 1-12/03)


     1. GET IRTF PHOTOMETRY LIBRARY
               scrs1/photometry_lib, OR
               ftp.ifa.hawaii.edu/OUTGOING/photometry_lib
        For the ftp option, first contact me at 
        elv@irtf.ifa.hawaii.edu

     2. GET ASTRO USERS LIBRARY
               http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/homepage.html

     3. Add library paths to those searched by IDL

     4. Execute astrolib.pro in IDL (or put in startup file)

     5. Create subdirectories for reduction steps.  Examples 
        assume you have created the following subdirectories
        where the data is located: 
                 - Coadded
                 - Registered 
                 - Results 

     6. Create and execute batch file for coadding images.
        (see documentation/mirsi_coad)

     7. Create and execute batch file for image registration.
        (see documentation/mirsi_register)

     8. Create and execute batch file for aperture photometry.
        (see documentation/mirsi_flux)

     9. Select desired aperture and correct for airmass by making
        results batch file (see documentation/results).
