Cosmic Ray map
- SSC criteria: >5 sigma above local bkg
0 = OK
1 = CR hit
Our calibrated images already have cosmic ray hits in them, different for Visit 1
and Visit 2 since they are from different WFPC2 images.
Our cosmic ray mask was created by running the IDL routine "sigma_filter" on the
calibrated image, with N_sigma=5 as a parameter. This created a new image with the
cosmic ray pixels "fixed". We then found the pixels that were different
between the calibrated image and the "fixed" calibrated image and those pixels were
assigned a value of "1" in the cosmic ray mask.
