• re-processed data with dual convolution off. improves # of streaks for STS, makes it a little higher for MD03. This greatly improves max # of streaks for both (from 700 to 400 on md03, from 3800 to 400 on STS)

• found streakies on magicked images from 20091209 (with camera fixes) - chips 27, 45, 47, 37, 57 dominated. This is data processed with dual convolution, and pattern subtraction turned off. Investigated in more detail with Sidik, Gene and someone else.

• found IQ measurements for Tonry for a number of exposures.

• processing various other small labels.

• fixing user.copies:2 on old raw images < 20080801 before I cull. This is so they can replicate properly.

• nearly filled up the cluster with processing

• working on statistics of mask fractions for STS,throughput and warp, when not distracted by other things

• Moon glints: compiled plots for telescope meeting on the sky brightness as a function of moon angle. Identified data that shows obvious moon glints.
• ISP: Unified summit copy and registration for ISP and GPC1, and confirmed that a single summit copy and registration instance will process both cameras' data.
• psphot CR: Working on code to properly mask out cosmic rays at the psphot stage intelligently. Played with the object classification code while dealing with a bad image.
• Nebulous: Fixed a bug in nebdiskd that was creating lots of churn in the entries of the mountedvol table. This churn was prompting replication to make unneeded copies of files.
• Cleanup: Currently pushing 130 labels through cleanup, resulting in a significant increase in available disk space. Discovered issue with diff cleanup where the SQL statement is taking too long to run and times out before completing.
• Burntool: Identified that burntool is occasionally missing a trail, due either to dropping a burn entirely that has a bad fit, or due to the trail not being fit well. Will investigate more next week.
• Detrends: Started creation of a new dark for the current camera state after detector changes.
