Parameters

Parameter Default Required Description
target_path None - Debiased science FITS; falls back to ctx.image.
master_dark_path None - Master-dark FITS; falls back to ctx.extras['master_dark'].
pad_with_zeros True - Clip negative pixels to zero after subtraction.

Use it

from spectro_kernel import run_algorithm

output = run_algorithm("subtract_dark_easyspec", ctx, {
    "target_path": None,
    "master_dark_path": None,
    "pad_with_zeros": True
})

spectro run subtract_dark_easyspec --input spectrum.fits \
  --param target_path=none \
  --param master_dark_path=none \
  --param pad_with_zeros=true
