Note: This is the report for both my IPP and MOPS activities.

• Off on Monday (Holiday)
• IPP
  • ipp001 clean up
• MOPS
  • Installed the IPP from ​https://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/repo/ipp/tags/ipp-20121218 / Rev.: 35023 (IPP "tag" = ipp-20121218) on the NEO cluster (ipp user account). Two execution contexts: one for megacam, one for detection efficiency. MOPS users who want to use it should give me a public key (send e-mail to schastel@...)
  • Comets classification: talked with Larry
  • Helped BB with MegaCam
  • Setup SOAP interface on NEO cluster
  • Continued with re-implementation of synthetic trails. While exploring the IPP code to implement the ra,dec to pixel coordinates conversion, I discovered that there was a tool (ppCoord) that was doing the job, that is, giving the pixels coordinates and the chip for an exposure when ra and dec and its astrometry (smf) file are provided. I started re-implementing the synthetic trails generation using this tool this weekend. Will be finished and tested on Monday.
