Day Seventeen

Nothing too special today, mostly just downloaded images. Halfway(ish) there!

Day seventeen, jitlesta!

Day Sixteen

Essentially I finished looking at pictures of nebulae and adjusting the radii on the images so I could figure out how big of a mosaic I needed to download. And then I started the wonderful 2 minute-per-image process of downloading. This miiiiight take a while since I have about 140 images to download. Oh well. The pictures are cool looking, that's what counts right?
Day Sixteen, tam!

Day Fifteen

Totally forgot to blog that day! I enjoy my new project, after calculating a whole bunch of radii, I get to double check with a bajillion pictures of different nebulae that are just plain cool looking. Good stuff.

Day fifteen, fuldføre

Day Fourteen

I finally got my new project! Yayy! I'm calculating a bunch of radii of nebulae, then getting DSS (optical) images and checking/adjusting radii, then looking at WISE images and then making a comparison of the WISE DSS and Chandra images, and then making a table! Considering how many Nebulae there are, this will certainly take me a while. But I'm not working on the powerpoint anymore, so that's good!

Day Fourteen, užbaigti!

Day Thirteen

All that's left now is to make a mosaic (a bigger image composed of multiple images) to compare to the 5ish degree image where they found the planetary nebula I was looking for of WISE images. Will my computer let me run ds9 long enough to make one without crashing? Who knows. Will I be able to find the images? Who knows. What I do know is Rudy said this is the last thing I'll be doing for KPD. Don't get me wrong, I like all the imaging bit, but I am QUITE sick of powerpoints. Thoroughly ready to go back to pretty picture investigations!

Day thirteen, fullborda!

Day Twelve

Well! I figured out how to PROPERLY set up the images that I've put in my powerpoint probably 3 different ways now. But I can feel the end approaching and the beginnings of a new project are in the air! yay!
Also this challenge thing makes me feel at a disadvantage being in a different building, since there's one paper a team and I have a waaaaaaaaaay harder time collaborating all the way over here. Not cool.
Regardless, I'll find a way!
Day Twelve, Ljúktu!

Day Eleven

The powerpoint continues! At least it's almost done. Who woulda thought something as simple as lining up a picture to compare could take so long.... or drawing a line that's a specific length... or finding a place to download a picture... Whatever the case, I've downloaded mosaics as the big excitement for the day. The first one I looked at was totally wrong and 10 times cooler looking than what I'm realling looking at, but I suppose that's okay! The mosaics are cool anyways.

Day eleven, повний!
