Re: Near Real Time

["Tom Droege" <droege@snapmail.us>]

The interesting thing is that now that Michael has modified the pipeline
so that the noise is computed correctly, I can find stars like these. 
Previously they were there in the data with modest WS statistics.  But
there were a *lot* of stars with high WS statistic.  So one had to plot
thousands of noise stars to find a real variable.  I would still find one
from time to time just by looking at enough plots.
