... To be read in conjunction with Section 7.6 of the WFPC2 Instrument Handbook , Version 4.0 Dithering is the act of displacing the telescope between observations either on integral pixel scales (to assist in removing chip blemishes such as hot pixels) or on sub-pixel scales (to improve final image resolution). ... In particular, at the time of the last writing, our experience in removing cosmic rays from singly dithered data (i.e., only one image per pointing) was quite limited. ...

... If two or more spectra have been taken under the same conditions, a very efficient way of removing particle hits from the raw data is to replace pixel values with large deviations from other observations with a local estimator, as done in the command COMBINE/LONG . If multiple images are not available, cosmic ray hits have to be filtered out by a different method. ... where subframe defines the region to filter. ... This step is done twice to remove the hits on the sky on each side of the object. ...
