QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
QC1 DB names: skyflat_intflux | skyflat_median | skyflat_mean | skyflat_stdev | skyflat_min | skyflat_max | skyflat_nsaturated | skyflat_slice1/../48_intflux
ALL parameters are calculated by the pipeline recipe
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
skyflat_intflux: flux integrated over the whole master skyflat (all slices)
skyflat_median: median of the master skyflat
skyflat_mean: mean of the master skyflat
skyflat_stdev: standard deviation of the master skyflat
skyflat_min: minimum value of the master skyflat
skyflat_max: maximum value of the master skyflat
skyflat_nsaturated: number of saturated pixels in output data
skyflat_slice1/../48_intflux: flux integrated over slice1/../48
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
unusual high/low flux level
