Recipe for deriving focus information REDUCE_FOCUS
Once the cube has been created, a flag file is written to indicate to the telescope POINTING_FOCUS task that processing is complete. The recipe also makes its own estimate of the best-fit focus position by fitting a parabola to the fitted peak flux densities at each SMU position. The solution is written to a log file, log.focus.
The best-fit focus position is written to log.focus.
The minimum number of images referred to above is defined as the mean number of images obtained for each of the preceding focus positions.
No data are displayed until the cube of focus images has been created.
The bright_compact config file is used.
