Re: [TASS] New Data Handling Paradigms?

As a reality check, on the 17th I ran all night and got 75 frames in V and
I.  The raw data fits on 2 CD ROMS.  In the past raw data/star lists = 10.
So we might get 120 Mbytes of star lists a night per location.

On the average, I get 6 good nights a month.  This is one CD ROM of star
lists every 3 weeks or so to mail off to a data base.
