I acquired 2 raw frames of MC2 using "/users/mjenson/sensoray/sdk_2253_1.2.2_linux/capture -n -s 720x480 -f 1", one while the laser was off the mode cleaner and another while it was on:

I then used "/users/mjenson/sensoray/sdk_2253_1.2.2_linux/imsub/display-image.py" to generate bitmaps of the raw images, which I then subtracted using the Python Imaging Library to generate a new image:

It doesn't look all that different, but the first image didn't have that much lit up in it to begin with. I should be able to write a script that does all of this without needing to generate new files in between acquisition and subtraction.
