... The very first step after correcting bias, dark, and overscan is to find the edges of the slitlets. This is done by the command LOCATE/MOS . This command takes the central trace of a flat-field and detects the edges of the slitlet by simple threshold comparison. ... The offsets in dispersion direction between the slitlets will be read from the header of the flat-field frame for FORS data and stored in :xoffset . ... The actual flat-correction is then performed with COMPUTE/IMAGE . ...

... Alfa_ang is a GUI for the rotang routine. The purpose of this routine is to calculate the optimum rotation angle for ALFA given the RA and Dec of a source and the date and time of the observation. The routine also returns the azimuth and zenith angle of the telescope at the requested time, thus it can be used to find the correct rotation angle and azimuth for the Fixed Azimuth Drift Scan observing mode used by the AGES drift precursor observation. ...
