__Week of Oct. 29th__

Mon. Oct 29th I started working with the CCDOps program and I'm trying to process my first image. The first image is M51.

Tues. Oct 30th absent

Wed. Oct 31st I'm still working with the CCDOps program and I'm not really making any progress. I'm really hesitant to do anything major for fear of messing something up. There are still a couple of things I don't understand. For example, what is the purpose of removing/killing the warm and cold pixels? Also when you try to average the images (stack the images) it asks if you would like to save any changes to the images but I'm kinda scared to do that because I don't know if I'm supposed to.

Thurs. Nov 1st I worked with the CCDOps program and I'm starting to process an image of M51. I finished processing the image on the CCDOps program and now I'm using Photoshop.

Fri. Nov. 2nd I worked on the M 51 image in photoshop and I worked on balancing the K levels.
