Background subtraction<br />

Method 1:<br />

- Run SExtractor, find sources<br />

- Mask them<br />

- Determine background on masked image on local grid<br />

- Remove it<br />

- Works fine on most fields<br />

Method 2:<br />

- Use 'I'wii background subtraction<br />

- better <strong>for</strong> nebulae <strong>and</strong> crowded fields<br />
