2 Overview IDL Fully Automated Organize the observations Allow for multiple setups Binning, decker, angles, etc. Flatten Pixel-to-pixel variations are tricky Trace order curvature Arcs Automated, 2D solution Improved sky subtraction (MAKEE) Object Trace Skysub Extract

3 Code IDL Packages: SDSS These include C code which must be compiled upon installation Packages: XIDL Includes ESI redux CVS write access via Steve Allen Also includes C code
