| 31 | | * Looked at a few of the stakcs that generated excess detections. Wrote a wiki page to discuss the issue http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/staticsky.20120706_excess_detections |
| 32 | | * Continued working on changes to the "background preserve pipeline" used by the M31 team to incorporate an additional mask application. This mask will be supplied by the M31 team to specify areas to be excluded from the warped images. |
| 33 | | * Ran into some interesting problems with the mask files they supplied. Learned a few new things about the camera configuration system. Found a workaround to the problem. |
| 34 | | * decided on a new plan of attack. The M31 exposures will be processed through warp the the standard recipes. Then the chip stage will be re-run with background subtraction and pattern correction turned off. Those will then be sent though the chip_bg stage which will apply the auxiliary mask and finally the warp_bg stage will use the astrometry and skycell map from the standard processing to produce warps that will be delivered to MPG. |

| | 33 | * Ran into some interesting problems with the mask files that MPG supplied. Learned a few new things about the camera configuration system. A keyword in the image headers confused our system. Fixed the problem by editing the mask files. |
