1 The name of the reference image. Firtly, Identify the apertures with a flat image. You can use this image like reference for other images. In the case of objects with low signal-noise ratio, you can need the reference image for extract the object. But, if the signal-noise ratio of the object is high you have to put recenter=yes. In whichever case, the good stability of INTEGRAL-WYFFOS guarantee that large offsets between the images during the night
