     56 * Out two days due to illness.
     57 * Diffraction spikes: identified that the stars with the largest error in mask positions also have the largest proper motion.  Since the actual star image position isn't where the masking code thought it would be, the masks miss.  There is still a small 0.25 degree offset that will need to be resolved.
     58 * Image noise properties: I checked the distribution of un-masked pixel values for a dark exposure, in an effort to characterize the level to which the image noise is non-Gaussian. The best fit noise level is consistent with that calculated from RDNOISE / GAIN, although the distribution larger-than-Gaussian beyond 5 \sigma.
     59 * Detectability server: Re-read and reminded myself of how the detectability server works to allow for bugfixes and improvements to be made next week.  This should implement SSdiff queries and provide the original psphotForced CMF results in the response.
