Optional Input Parameters

Keyword Input Parameters

BINFAC - binning factor for image display, default=1
EXTEN - Extension number of subimage to read (default=0, primary)
NOCLEAN - Flag, if set will suppress the automatic removal of cosmic rays.
Note: this step can take a very long time if you don't have
a fast machine. On an Ultra 1/170 I find I will occasionally
supress cleaning.
NOSCALE - Flag, if set suppressing the scaling operation when reading the FITS file
PATH - Path where data is to be found, default = current directory
QUEUE - Printer queue for hardcopy, default is chani for color and
office for b/w
SAVECLEAN - Flag, if set will cause the cleaned image to be saved alongside
the original image. The new file will have 'c' appended to the
root of the file name.

Outputs

No explicit outputs but you are prompted for a final hardcopy in either
color or black and white.

Keyword Output Parameters

CCUBE - If provided, this keyword returns a three dimensional byte array
of the final stacked color cube displayed in window 3.
