Roy Henderson

• some time looking into psLib optimsation: made timings, wrote new read function, played with struct alignment
• max/min of object IDs now determined by ippToPsps and passed to DXLayer in the batch manifest. Other metedata may follow.
• made improvements to DXLayer fast-FITS-read function
• access to PSPS maui cluster and JHU cluster/SVN for DXLayer testing, Started to look at DXLayer code, as I will be testing it this week coming
• began documentation on the IPP wiki, including an outline of the IPP to PSPS system and outstanding issues

Paul Price

• Sent Run 5 MD detections to Dave Monet via publish system
• Fix ppSub to put FWHM in diff inverse headers
• Fix psastro to put zpt_obs in statistics file
• Pattern I/O implemented and tested
• Fixed pattern row correction list for XY15
• Fixed SEGVs in pswarp, ppStack
• Implemented mechanism for destreaking of background-preserved (i.e., no pattern or background subtraction) images
• Fixed stack target PSF calculation to allow slightly bad PSFs (PAR_7 > 5e-2), though the target PSF itself is constrained to be good (PAR_7 >= 0).
• Scheduled monthly videocons with UK partners: Wed 8am.
• Fixed stack photometry: PSF parameters were being allowed to range without bounds
• Running background-preserved M31 data

Chris Waters

• Diffraction spike masking: updated diffraction spike mask rules to fix angular shift between old masks and the spikes, and updated the spike length model.
• Nightly Science automation: expanded to cover more than just MD fields. New config file to define which surveys are processed via the automation code, and to remove values hard coded into the script.
• Stack-stack diffs: Updated difftool to support stack stack diffs. There still seem to be a number of bugs to fix.
• Difference automation: added warp-stack and stack-stack diff modes to the survey.pro pantasks module.
