The following pages describe the LCOGT recipes in detail. Recipes in general live in subdirectories under $ORAC_DIR/recipes (this is the general location for all recipes for imaging, spectroscopy, IFU’s and general purposes). For LCOGT use, the majority of recipes live under $ORAC_DIR/recipes/imaging/LCOSBIG or a camera-class specific subdirectory (e.g. $ORAC_DIR/recipes/imaging/LCOSINISTRO). Orac-dr searches for recipes via a ‘recipe search path’ (controlled by the orac_determine_recipe_search_path() subroutine in ORAC::Inst::Defn) which is ordered in decreasing order of specificity e.g. for LCOSINISTRO the order will be:
The recipe search path can also be overridden with an environment variable if needed or a specific recipe to be run can be specified on the command line call to oracdr.
