| | 79 | * Completed testing of astrometric reference catalog for one of the STS fields. Ran 120 exposures using it. sigma_ra and sigma_dec are significantly improved: reduced by factor of about 8). |
| | 80 | * Investigated by detectability queries for stack-stack diffs do not work. There are some significant problems with the method used to find the exposures. |
| | 81 | * Queued and monitored processing of 162 M31 exposures in g, z, and y filters. Ran into a serious problem with some of the z band data. One one night the seeing was very good ~3 pixels and psphot's memory usage exploded causing machines to crash and jobs to fail. Tried running these on a machine with large swap space dedicated to these 5 chips. It took most of the weekend but the exposures completed. Need to investigate what psphot is doing. Also the data from 2009 did not come out well. There is something wrong with the recipes used for this data. Pattern correction? |
| | 82 | * cleaned up database mess caused by ippc17 crashing repeatedly. |
