| | 63 | * Spent a couple of days using psastro and DVO to perform and analyze tests with STS exposures that get poor astrometric solutions on some chips when using the standard settings. The conclusion was that Gene needs to do some work on psastro to solve the problem. |
| | 64 | * Prototyped some code to track "Events" that occur during the lifetime of IPP output components. For example a given chip will be processed, cleaned up, updated to make postage stamps, cleaned up, updated to make postage stamps.... Often postage stamp jobs get stuck waiting for data that is in a long queue of things to be cleaned up to be finish just so that we can regenerate the image (or an image from another part of the exposure). We have found the need to track this in order to better manage our disk usage. Also if given images are in great demand we can stop the madness and keep those images around. |
| | 65 | * We had performance problems with both of our databases this week. This caused lots of lost time investigating what was happening. In the end we restarted the database and things were fine for awhile. |
| | 66 | * Spent two very busy days as processing czar. |
| | 67 | * Wrote scripts to queue chip and diff processing for several hundred ThreePi exposures for which processing was incomplete. The chosen exposures are in the Hyades and nearby regions and these are of interest to Bertrand Goldman of MPIA and KP5. |
| | 68 | * Created DVO database for all of the STS.2010 exposures to help with the astrometry investigations. |
| | 69 | * Spent much of Saturday babysitting the processing listed in the last 2 items. |
