Photometry Darks

Data taken by Holly Preece and Jamila Taaki

Took 70 dark images. 10 each at exposures 1s, 2s, 3s, 10s, 15s,30s, 60s

Stored C:\Users\dome-pc\Desktop\Data\20141017_HP_JT

Temperature set point -10 degrees

Actual temperature between -10.2 and -9.8

File name CCDImage_Xs_N.fit example of name type, X=exposure time [seconds], N = image number at that exposure

#------------------------
ipython cheat sheet:
install packages:
pyfits, scipy, numpy, matplotlib
ipython use:
%quickref to access reference, % to exit
pwd & cd work as usual
exit to exit

run ipython with pylab (list of examples below)
#------------------------
ipython --pylab
