NAME
sinfo_rec_mflat - Master flat determination
SYNOPSIS
esorex sinfo_rec_mflat [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
This recipe reduce normal raw flat fields.
The input files are a set of flat fields with tag FLAT_LAMP optionally one may have in
input also several bad pixel maps to be coadded.
The main products are a master flat field (PRO.CATG=MASTER_FLAT_LAMP) image a bad pixel
map (PRO.CATG=BP_MAP_NO), a master bad pixel map (PRO.CATG=MASTER_BP_MAP) resulting by the
coaddition of all bad pixel maps.
