Review of reduction steps needed on flux standard: (to reduce a standard telluric, see standard GMOS reduction page)

1. Find and prepare flux standard as described in Gemini Getfiles

2. prepare flats: GMOS Flats

3. prepare arcs: GMOS Arcs

4. gsreduce target
- see gsreduce.txt

5. gstransform target
- gstransform gsgsgtNfilename wavtran=gsgaNfilename

6. gsskysub tgsgsgsgt*

7. gsextract stgsgsgsgt*

8. gsstandard estgsgsgsgt*

- graphs=srei, sens.fits is the calibration spectrum
- Note: You may need to add points to constrain wobbles in the fit. Also watch the scatter in error. If it
has a pattern, try a higher order.

- Apply flux calibration to flux calibrator
- gscalibrate estgsgsgsgt*
