MOPEX User’s Guide
Use Refined Pointing: Check this to use the alternate FITS pointing keywords created by the
offline pointing refinement script (pointing_refine.pl). Do not switch this on unless you
have manually run pointing refinement outside of the normal BCD pipeline products.
Most users will never use this option, as pointing refinement is not recommended for Spitzer
data. If you believe that there is a problem with the pointing of your data with respect to e.g.
the 2MASS catalog, please email the Spitzer Helpdesk for assistance.
Use Bright Object Mask: Select this option to use the object mask generated by the Bright
Detect module in the full image segmentation.
Delete Intermediate Files: Check this to delete all of the intermediate files created by the
APEX pipeline. This leaves only the input files and the files created by the final module. This
is useful for saving disk space once you are satisfied with your reduction setup. Note that
MOPEX will prompt you with a pop-up dialogue box when you set the flow running, to be
sure that you meant to select this irreversible option.

The following parameters are set in the Global Parameters part of the namelist. Note that if
both MOSAIC_PIXEL_SIZE_X(Y) and MOSAIC_PIXEL_RATIO_X(Y) are both set, the
former takes precedence and will override the latter.
