I have created a set of nice/, pretty pictures color images of DECam exposures from using data First Light data observations and from previously known clusters targeted during SVA1. These color images are here available to the DES collaboration and can be used for PR purposes and . When used, they should be credited to the Dark Energy Survey Data Management (DESDM) at NCSA.
The color images of DECam exposures were created using STIFF (version 2.1.3) from co-added fits files using SWArp using a pixel-scale of 0.5 arcsec/pixel. I used images that were processes through the initial steps of the DESDM pipeline (crosstalk, bias, flats, astro-alignment) and were futher cleaned of spurius objects using mkbleed to mask and interpolate over saturated stars and bleed trails (with interpolation on) and immask (0version0.2.1) to mask out and detect satellite trails and cosmic rays. The color images, are tiff files with jpeg compresion of 15,000 x 15,000 pixels size.
