Re: A New Data Set 20

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

Nyankami,

I don't understand what you don't understand.  ;^)

OK, I have now collected a lot of data.  I am willing to send samples of it 
out so that pipelines can be developed to process the full set.  While the 
data is not as good as I hope it will eventually get, I think it is good 
enough to process through to a publication of the data.  I have a lot of 
measurements of a lot of stars.  I suspect that they are good enough so 
that it would be useful to process the data for eventual publication.  What 
else can I answer?
