Raw LCOGT data conforms to the following format:<site><tel. class><tel. #>-<inst>-YYYYMMDD-<nnnn>-<type><red. level>.fits
where:
<site> is the LCOGT Network Site (one of {ogg, coj, bpl, lsc, sqa, cpt, elp, tfn}),
<tel. class> is the telescope class (one of {2m0, 1m0, 0m8, 0m4}),
<tel. #> is the telescope number,
<inst> is the (unique) CCD descriptor,
YYYYMMDD is the UTC date at start of night (defined to be 16:00 local),
<nnnn> is the running number, restarting at 0001 when UTC date increments,
<type> is the type of file (from {a=arc, b=bias, d=dark, e=exposure, f=sky flat, l=lambert
flat, s=standard, x=experimental})
<red. level> is the reduction level (00-99, currently one of {00 (raw data), 01 (flash
processed), 02 (pre-processed), 10 (quicklook processed) 90 (pipeline processed)})For ease of tracking data flow, the pipeline products will follow the same policy, with the
<red. level> altered appropriately to 90 in the case of normally processed data. Catalogs derived
from frames will inherit the same rootname with a _cat.fits suffix. Bitmap versions of the frame will
use the same rootname, replacing the .fits extension with .png.
