Usage

Overview

vimos_ima_science -- VIMOS science recipe.

Take a list of science frames and correct them to remove bias, dark and flat field signatures. Optionally defringe the reddest filter images. Stack jitter sequences. Astrometrically and photometrically calibrate the stacks

The program accepts the following files in the SOF:
