== P3.18 Large spatial scale instrument and telescope flat field == • **Phase** : 3 • **Status** : Draft • **Category** : Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C4) • **Recurrence** : before every night observations (valid for all observing modes). 2/day for CI (BB filter only). • **Duration** : 1 hour(s) **Description** • Flat field taken during twilight **Prerequisites** • Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side. • Atmospheric conditions: AO working conditions. • Bad pixel map, Background or Dark. **Procedure** • This calibration is performed by sky observation combined with pointing scan in order to record a flat (that include telescope large scale transmission variations) on the detector. • Single integration times for a given setup, using various flux level with natural light with no coronagraph. **Success criteria** • Width of flux distribution: 3.10-2 **Notes** • Same as activity 7.5 in AD4 **LBTO support** • Support from LBTI/LBTO? **Associated SHARK-NIR personnel** • JF, LM, MdP **Date performed and by whom**
