 ====== Calibration Files ======
-This page is a repository of baseline calibration files to be used in circumstances where observers were unable to obtain those data during their run.
+** With version 2 of PyWiFeS, baseline calibrations are not provided, but should be available from the WiFeS data archive under the automated 2.3m telescope operations. However, the general principles below still hold. In addition, note that dark frames are not recommended because the dark current in the detectors (as of 2025 and going back to at least 2013) are below 1 ADU/hour. **
+This page will ultimately be a repository of baseline calibration files to be used in circumstances where observers were unable to obtain those data during their run.  The file formats changed in v0.5.0 so previous calibration files were removed.  An update email will be sent when these files are available again.  (MC: 2015-Apr-28)
 The calibration files needed to fully process the data are:

-To fix this, you need merely go to the repository below and choose the appropriate files for your given setup.  Be sure to point your reduction script to these new files.
-=== Baseline Calibration Files ===
-Note that the detectors for *both* WiFeS cameras were replaced in 2013. Thus the baseline calibration files will be different between the two detector generations.  By default, these calibration files have been derived for the formats used in the paper release version "v0.6.0".

-<sup>1</sup> Be **very** cautious, the physical location of the slitlets on the detector tends to change, so which pixels are being sampled will be different perhaps each night.  You really should **always** take quartz lamp flats, then use the twilight (sky) flats for the illumination correction (which typically does not change).  These flat response files should really only be used for quick reductions.
-<sup>2</sup> These are not binning dependent.
