... 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 . ...
