Hello Everyone - Flat Field Correction

[duncan74]

I am new to astronomy and would like to know about flat fielding.

[luke89]

I am also looking into this and would appricate any advice

[Herakles]

More homework Q's from the same two 'new members' from another site, asking the exact same thing.

Lads , do your own homework.

[luke89]

one day i wish i could be as "cliver" as you.

do your home work

[duncan74]

Sorry for offending your personage, maybe one day we can combine our intelligence and approach even a modicum of your vast greatness

[jgs001]

I might have jumped the gun a little here, but this seems to be somewhat OTT... so I've moved the thread.

[MikeP]

Both from the same IP address. Good spot John.

. I hadn't even got as far as that Mike... still trying to work things like that out...

Looks like a pair of students (it's a .ac domain) probably sitting on 'puters next to each other.

[jgs001]

I can't see the link, but... anyone have access ?

Flat Fields - Astronomy Forums

Crumbs Mike... you move fast ... ... Banned them both already...

[MikeP]

I think they are students - I've banned duncan74 and explained why, but left luke89.

This post caused a bit of a misunderstanding and some slightly ill-judged responses which I have deleted.

Duncan and Luke are students at Glasgow University and genuinely have questions on flat fielding in relation to solar imaging and solar limb darkening specifically.

I've moved this post to the Welcome area since they will be asking specific questions in the Lunar / Solar Imaging board.

Welcome to you both Duncan and Luke.

My sincere aologies to the lads . Hole , feet and jump . I reacted hastily because the exact same Q ( more or less verbetum verbetum ) had been asked earlier on another Forum, in exactly the same manner.

That said , had the lads introduced themselfs and explained about the Unversity Course, then my original reply would have been a lot different.

Again , apologies to Duncan and Luke.
