Abstract: |
A common cause of errors in CCD differential photometry is an improper calibration of the array. The importance of these errors is evaluated for different cameras with fields between 3 and 30 arcminutes. The usual superflat illumination corrections based on night sky exposures are often found to be unsatisfactory. ``Photometric superflats'' based on stellar measurements are more reliable and should be used instead. |
