Eratta Data Set 20
Sigh! The only way to take data is with simultaneous data analysis. That
way one eventually gets the labeling right.
First Jean-Claude Pelle pointed out that the some of the follow runs have
'object' frames labeled 'dark'. This was fixed for runs starting after 011103.
Michael Richmond noticed that DS 20 runs 6,7, and 8 have the V and I data
reversed. This is true for the reasons I gave in a previous post. I have
checked all the other disks in Data Set 20 and they look OK. But I did not
check every image. Not that you can identify the V images by a dark spot
at 1032x, 1724y on the raw image.
I in looking up the data disks to check them I noticed that the log book
did not match the fits date-times.
Turning on the computer I noticed the clock set to December 20. I
panicked. Time to finish my Christmas shopping. A check with the GPs
showed that the computer clock was either 17 or 18 days fast. I have been
dutifully setting it to within 1 second by GPS but apparently not notice
the date.
Disks Taken Fits JDay
1,2 011116 011201 not important
3,4,5 011017 011018 2199 This is correct
6,7,8 011109 011127 2239 +18 Days
9,10 011117 011204 2246 +17 Days
The "taken" date is the date of the evening started. Usually the UT is the
next day so the entry for disks 3,4,5 appears to be correct. Those of you
that can compute Julian Day can check if the program is doing it
correctly. The next two runs were off by either 17 or 18 days. Something
is funny in the code, or the Computer is losing the date when I turn it on
and off. The Fits date is what is shown in the fits header. The JDay is
the file label. Fortunately I seem to be logging enough information to
straighten this all out. Note for these runs I have been setting the time
to within a second or so by GPS.
