Summary of MD.GR1 -- in progress --

(back to MediumDeepFields summary)

Preparation thoughts for the next/uniform MD processing.

All processing (at least per field) really should be done as a unit, no more mix and match..

Before it can start

• V3 -- is it what is wanted, do centers need to be re-shifted?
• problem chips/cells/skycells flagged and fixed if possible
• can edges be dealt with better (do they need to be?)
• stack types (iq, ref, deep, nightly, convolved) tested and defined (any cuts, minimum inputs, convolved version etc)
• diffim improvements, photometry tests
• staticsky/skycal tests

General guideline and stages (stacks/diffs) to do:

• chip->warp: by default must do
• stacks: all types now?
  • best IQ/FWHM: what about "poor" edges? best IQ or only make skycell if IQ<X pixels with N inputs?
  • reference stack:
    • all out of season
    • each season/year stack
  • deep stack:
  • night stack: all during night even if some "marginal"?
• diffims: which ones need to be done?
  • night WS,SS with with out-of-season refstack or ?
• staticsky/skycal:

Define uniform label, data_group formats: label and data_group similar ?

• chip->warp: MD<##>.GR1.<proc start date>
• stack:
  • reference stack: MD<##>.GR1.<proc start date of chip->warp>.refstack.<proc date> ?
  • deep stack: MD<##>.GR1.<proc date of chip->warp>.deepstack.<proc date>
  • night stack: MD<##>.GR1.<proc date with chip->warp>.nightstack.<obsdate>
• diffim:
• staticsky/skycal:

Distribution and cleanup:

• what goes to distribution this time (who needs what)
• how long must it stay on disk
• what past processing can be cleaned up on disk now
