• selected a set of 3Pi exposures between early 2009 and the end of 2010 for testing of the new ippconfig changes. They processed through warp, diff, magic, with a few issues:
  • data > 2010-07-23 did not get processed using the new mask because that mask is "MASKTEST". I need to redo this set of data with a different config.
  • data < 2009-12-09 needs pattern correction on for all of the cells.
  • the rest of the data looks good - it respects the different configurations.
  • I need to reprocess with the 2 changes above, to test.
• JT's MD reprocessing
  • finished MD06 (except for a few days that I need to investigate)
  • finished MD07 (except for one skycell)
• addstar -resort investigations
  • unable to trigger the problem where addstar does not resort. Tried this with different ipp-builds (in case it was build dependent). The key points:
    • ThreePi.298 was selected as my test case. dvoverify and bill's script say it is unsorted, gpc1 db has a resort time for it (so it claims it was sorted)
    • ThreePi.298 was copied a couple of times, and had addstar -resort run on it with ipp-20101215 and ipp-20110218. Both builds report that addstar resorts without problems.
• working on poster for Telescopes from Afar conference.
• I am now the "survey czar"
  • transferred missing refstack for MD07 from ifaps1 to maui
  • created ​https://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/RefStackWiki for keeping track of what refstacks we have and what we are using.
  • waiting for 3pi stuff to be done to work on making missing V2 stacks
• wrote the scripts for queueing ThreePi.136 - these just 'copy' the diffs that had been done previously, with the same gaps and misqueues.

• Modified IPP to not automatically clean up data that has not yet been destreaked. This should help us insure that 3pi pairs taken on different nights get finished.
• Debugged and repaired some bugs with postage stamp dependency checking that affects the diff stage
• Marked camRuns whose data has been lost on ipp020 in the database.
• Populated the detection efficiency measurements in chipProcessedImfile. (I collected this data last fall but never finished the task)
• Update MPIA's ipp installation with a build from the current production branch.
• Investigated the reason that getstar was not returning stars in the polar region. Fixed the problem.
• Used the updated database to start processing data from the CNP survey. Debugged problem in psastro that causes about half of the exposures to fail astrometry.
• Wrote script to set up chipRuns for reprocessing last month's ThreePi data with the current IPP. Label is ThreePi.136
• Two days as processing czar + some time on the weekened monitoring ThreePi.136.
