SkyOffset (Illumination) Correction

Below are blinks between L1a frames that were corrected with a relative sky-offset and those without. The sky-offset was made from a trimmed average of 70 consecutive frames and re-baselined to have zero median. This was then subtracted from the input frames. The field below is at galactic long, lat: 291, -2.62 deg, frameset ID: 01133b245.

W3: NO skyoffset vs. WITH skyoffset correction


W4: NO skyoffset vs. WITH skyoffset correction

Same field as above. Note the (short-term) latent at upper right.
