I've done various tests using dome flats and worked out a shutter pattern correction. Basically, it went like this: 1. I observe both normal (single exposure) flats and multiple exposure flats of the same requested exposure time. I was using mostly a 16-second g-band flat and a flat that was 16 consecutive 1-second exposures before reading out. This gave the exposures comparable flux levels and made some calculations easy. The script I used is on flwo48 at: /home/4obsusers/kepler/scripts/repflat2 2. Suppose an image has the flux F, which is a 2-D function across the chip. In a perfect world, F is proportional to the intensity I and time t, F=It, where t is what's requested by the observer and written in the header. In reality, t = t0 + delta, where t0 is the requested exposure time (a constant across the chip) and delta is the residual 2-D function due to the finite shutter speed and possible offset from the requested exposure time. If you know delta, you can correct F by the factor t0/(t0+delta) so that you really have the flux for your requested exposure time. 3. Using the flats described in point 1, you can form the ratio image R by dividing your multi-exposure flat by the single 16-second normal flat. The flat intensities should be quite close and drop out: R = (N(t1+delta))/(t2+delta). Here, N=16, t1=1sec, t2=16sec, and the pixel values in R are dimensionless. You can then create an image "delta" from R: delta = (Rt2 - Nt1)/(N - R) where delta is in units of seconds. 4. I put a delta image for Keplercam on flwo48 at: /home/observer/kepler/scratch/delta_kepler_observed.fits (this is a single-extension fits file assembled from the 4 in the original data files). The image shows a clear shutter pattern. 5. In practice, I created a smoothed version of the observed delta using IRAF's image surface fitting task. I grab t0 from each image header and mulitply the images by t0/(t0+delta). The image shows that the difference in exposure time between the corners of the field and center is about 0.045 seconds. That's some combination of the opening and shutting speed. Mark
