Record Data Last Night

[Tom Droege <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

Last night I took 1342 images with TOM1, TOM2, and TOM3.  This is certainly 
a record.  They were all pretty good except for some ice on TOM1 V 
camera.  I just did not watch the indicator in the desiccant.  TOM1 seems 
to have an air leak, and requires more desiccant than TOM2 and TOM3 together.

I am working on getting some comparative runs with TOM2 and TOM3 at the 
equator where there are Landolt standards for comparison.  A brief look 
indicates that TOM2 and TOM3 are getting the same values within the 
error.  A good sign, I think. Still, the error is larger than I would like.

The processing backlog is building up because I have been investigating one 
data set over and over as I try to improve the data quality.  No end of 
ideas to try, but so far nothing makes the data better.    Eventually, I 
will declare the engineering run "good enough" and reprocess the whole 
stack and publish.

I have been working on cloud removal.  It works just fine but does not make 
any improvement in the data quality.  This is a measure that Michael is 
doing a good job on the relative photometry.
