This is just a quick post to show the clear benefits of using skyloop when reducing your own data (see our earlier blog or read: http://www.starlink.ac.uk/docs/sc21.htx/node51.html). Below is an image composed of several observations reduced individually using the iterative map maker. "Blooms" (bright false emission) are clearly evident at the edges of maps where high noise has made its way into the ast model.
Reducing the same data using skyloop helps to identify what is noise and what is true emission-particularly in the overlap regions. The benefit in this situation is clearly seen. The cost to the user is in computing power and time but the result is clearly worth it.
