Quick look reduction

A set of IRAF scripts for NOTCam imaging reductions have been made and tested. The purpose of these scripts is to allow a quick look at the data to help observers understand the data quality obtained during observations. This include scripts to: make bad-pixel masks, make differential master flats, do sky-subtraction and flat-fielding of a set of images, shift and add a set of images. Two special scripts were made that fully reduce a 5-point dither or a 3x3 grid dither made using the observing script generator to output one final image per script. The NOTCam User's Guide has been updated with a description of how these scripts work and how to use them. See

The documentation and help pages for the package is still quite limited.
