NAME

bisky - remove sky gradients from FITS file

SYNOPSIS

bisky fits_file [factor=] [verbose] [maxval=] [outfile=]

DESCRIPTION

bisky determines the sky value using the mode of the data in the four corners of the image. It then uses bilinear interpolation and removes the gradient. The original file is overwritten unless the outfile option is specified.

OPTIONS

factor= chops the image into factor^2 boxes to determine the sky value. The default value is 4.0.

maxval= sets the maximum value that the sky can have. This is handy to use if there are a lot of saturated stars that could give a false sky reading.

verbose-prints out the values of the sky in the factor^2 regions.
