In version 2 of the data reduction, we include frames where there is some visible scattered light, but where the background is still reasonably low (not more than a few times the minimum background). ... Briefly, the scattered light subtraction was done by registering the bright and dark images, subtracting the dark from the bright to remove the source, smoothing to remove any residual sources left over after the subtraction, and subtracting this smoothed sky image from the bright frame. ...
