- Explanation of the astropy CCDPROC task. 

- Explanation of different image combination algorithms, including outlier rejection.

:: Image processing:
- Definition of the geometry of the overscan area and the data area.
- Calculation and correction of the overscan level. 
- Trimming the overscan section
- Examination of processed images
- Combination of bias images into a master bias. 
- Comparison of the combined image with the individual ones (noise reduction).
