# muse\_illum(7)

Dummy recipe to convert a raw illumination flat field into a DFS product

## NAME

muse\_illum - Dummy recipe to convert a raw illumination flat field into a DFS product

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **muse\_illum** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

The recipe copies the data of an illumination flat-field unmodified to the output file. However it alters the header data such that the result is a DFS compliant product file, which can be used in the on-line pipeline environment to correct the illumination of twilight and/or science observations. This recipe has no use in any environment other than the on-line pipeline environment!

## OPTIONS

Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
