Flat fields

Obtain as many flat fields as possible during evening and morning twillight, in the same field-rotator position as for the cluster time series photometry. Obtain also fields in a rotator position 180 degrees away. According to Michael Andersen, there are some flat field gradients present, but these can be minimized substantially by combining flat fields obtained 180 degrees (rotator angle) apart.
