It is important that the research team receives as much information about the observing conditions as possible to account for any confounding variables in the data. This frame table must include rows for any light frames (different rows for different capture parameters), along with separate rows for each calibration frame -- again different rows for different parameters (e.g., time, filter, gain, etc).
