General Principles• Record everything that you do. Refrain from changingparameters with “epar” before running tasks• Experiment. Verify the impact of varying different reductionparameters on the final results• Attention to files in the “database” directory. They containimportant information• Make sure you understand what each task does in detail• Do not trust iraf (or any data reduction package, for thatmatter)• You don’t want to reinvent the wheel, but always ask thequestion: could I do this in a better way?3
