calibration update



I finished data collection for the two 4x4degree fields on the equator
that I planned to calibrate in V and Ic with the 1.3m telescope.  It
was hard to find photometric weather to cover all 72 fields for each
patch this summer; our monsoon was late starting but the clouds
were here earlier and nearby forest fires prevented observations on
other nights.
   One 20x40arcmin field was not observed due to operator coordinate input
errors; I may be able to do that one when I get back from my next
trip (returning Sept2).  I hope to be able to do the photometric
transformations tomorrow, but it requires some modifications to
my existing pipeline and I have several other competing projects
that need to get done before I leave.  If I don't finish, the
final calibration will be done the first week in September.
