Planned changes for the next releases

• update KMOS Manual with changes since COMM2

• kmo_illumination

  • Ignore the first exposure generated with the illumination template. This exposure is taken to estimate the needed exposure time.
  • Cross-correlate sky exposures with the masterflat. This will reduce artifacts in the processed science frames due to instrument flexure.

• kmo_std_star

  • Will be modified in several ways, so don't wonder if the products of this recipe will change.
  • Ignore last exposure in a template since it is taken with the same configuration as the first one (due to OB efficiency).

• kmo_sci_red

  • speed up mapping mode (for mapping24-template approx. 3h)
  • Additionally a switch will be introduced to map just the collapsed cubes in order to get a fast preview.
  • implement enhanced background matching for mapping mode

• add test in all reconstruction recipes in order to check if XCAL, YCAL, LCAL match together.

  • If for example XCAL and YCAL originate from one set of calibration exposures and LCAL from another, the badpixel mask probably isn't the same. In the future a warning will be emitted in this case. The recipes work anyway, but the results should be questionned anyway...
