This page tracks events in the static sky processing for Large Area Processing for 2012-07-06

Beginnings 2012-11-21

It was decided to begin the stack photometry with the region containing the Kepler field (18h30m,+33d45') -> (20h20m,+52d30'). These skycells were queued for staticsky processing on November 21.

After those runs completed a list of projection cells that had completed LAP stacking were queued for processing. These were queued in order of projection cell number. This turns out to be a band at low declinations. These proceeded over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Change of direction 1

After the holiday a change of direction was made. Rather than go in band of declination we went to stripes in RA. The outstanding runs were set to state ='wait' and skycells were queued in the band 9 < RA < 10

Change of direction 2

Due to some mis-communication we decided that it would be better for PSPS to load in decliation bands, so the existing runs were set back to state ='new' and new runs were queued.

Change of direction 3

As a result of further discussions it was determined to go back to processing by RA stripes. The RA band including the Kepler field was made the highest priority. The skycells with centers above declination 10 were completed on 2012-12-04. The plot below shows the completion at this time
