Some Success

[Tom Droege <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

It appears that I got Michael's pipeline to run through to conclusion.  A 
real success for me.  Thank you Michael!

This was done using the box flats and the dark run and some current 
data.  The data makes sense when I look at it.

OK this gives me the .cal file.  In this case I processed the 56 images 
from one exposure sequence.  This gives me 160,000 or so star 
measurements.  I have taken enough of my Linux course to sort this 
list.  This sort of puts the stars together.  But if one sorts on RA and 
then Dec. there is the obvious problem that the data from two stars at the 
same RA is mixed together.

Now I can look at this list, and sort of figure out which measurements 
belong together as one star.  If I had Arne's position catalog for all 
stars in this region (Hint), I could imagine matching the measurements 
against known star positions.  Anyone have standard code for doing this 
next step of sorting measurements into stars?

Otherwise, I will have to do it in QBasic.  Possibly I should do it QB 
anyway, just to amuse you all.
