Nov 19th

Today I finally had the CCDOPS InstOps properly installed along with the SetupDriverChecker. I then converted some of the image files I had been using with the ImageJ program to open using the CCDOPS program. Also I loaded the two programs onto a flashdrive so I could install them on my home computer (which I have done).

Today I decided to act on a document which I read a while back that claimed to give some explaination on how to use AdobePhotoshop, however I think that document may have been dated or perhaps for a different version of Photoshop, because it wasn't as helpful as I had hoped. I also downloaded 2 zip files from http://www.noao.edu/education/arbse/arpd/ia in order to work with them in the CCDOPS program. I had some difficulty getting them actual image files to open in CCDOPS and will work tomorrow on figuring a way to do that. Also I decided to organize my home computer and create my own astronomy folder similar to the one found in my computer at school. I also found another document which gave some recommendations on astro-imaging techniques on possibilities, although I am not sure whether such techniques are available to me, so hopefully I will have those questions straightened out tomorrow in class.
