Grand Reprocessing Concerns/wishlist

  • burntool is not complete / done for certain days.
    • Is there a way to reburn these days? If so, it needs to be documented
    • Can we automatically detect & reburn these, rather than have a human find them (as they fail), and requeue by hand?

  • Can we have a well defined and complete document/wiki of what the reprocessing tasks are?
    • the different stages for each survey
    • the different diffs
    • with well defined processing, we will know ultimately what should happen to each exposure. We should have a webpage to track each exposure, so that we can verify each exposure goes through all the necessary stages (unlike now, where nightly science tasks like stacks and diffs often get missed)
  • can we have a robot that automatically queues things for us (and adds them to pantasks as necessary?)

  • We should add a column in rawImfile or rawExp for files which can't be processed, and chiptool should avoid queueing them.
    • some of these files are misfires (the camera died or other camera glitches)
    • some of these are ones that the observers flag as bad in email
    • this can simplify things for future reprocessings (whether GR2 or special request reprocessing)
  • will there be improved diff photometry?
