... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...

... Flats : Properly exposed flats over all echelle orders require a two-step process. Flats are taken both with and without a CuSO4 (aka "blue") filter in the beam. ... Suggested exposures are 7 seconds ("red"; no filter) and 240 seconds ("blue", CuSO4 filter) yielding S/N values of ~480. The filter for "blue" flats is listed as "blue" in the Config window in Echelle control under Remark. ... Exposure times for objects can be derived from the following plot: . ...
