SETI like tass project

[Tom Droege <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

I have accumulated a lot of data.  About 375 CD's at this point.  I figure 
another 1000 before the year is out.

I would again like to bring up the possibility of running a seti like 
project to reduce this data.  Eventually we will have a well understood 
pipeline.  It will be a big project to run all the data through it.  I am 
prepared to do this myself and just set up a row of computers and shove CDs 
through them.  But perhaps it would be fun to spread this around to a 
team.  I know I brought this up before and got a good response.  Now I 
could actually ship out data for analysis.

The start would be the engineering run data.  This will be 500-600 CDs, of 
order 30,000 images taken at 7.5 degrees N covering all hour angles.  Even 
if the calibrations are not the best possible, there should be lots of new 
variables in this data.  My bet is that there are a few thousand that have 
not been measured before.  The engineering run contains both long and short 
term data so we should find a wide range of periods.

Let's discuss how we might do this.
