QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written into QC1 table:
QC1db names: skyline_position | skyline_rms | skyline_offset | skyline_number | avg_accuracy
QC1 params created by pipeline: avg_accuracy (from wavelength calibration data)
QC1 params created by this procedure: all others
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
The whole rebinned frame is searched for emission lines.
Then lines within +/- 1 pixel around skyline_position are selected and their offset with respect to the reference line is determined.
The mean and rms of these offsets are stored in skyline_offset and skyline_rms.
The number of skylines used is stored in skyline_number
CERTIF to be rejected only if obviously bad, e.g. curved or slanted sky lines
skyline offsets of more than 0.3 pixels violate the nominal calibration accuracy,
but may be due to temperature differences between science and calibration data and
are no cause for rejection
