Dec 3rd

Today I was sick and did not work on my Astro-imaging

Dec 4th

Today I helped one of my classmates retrieve the images taken by another one of my classmates. I also successfully took all of my Ceres images taken from New Mexico Skies and layered them (first by eliminating hot and cool pixels and then combining like images by Red, Blue, Green, and Luminance). I then saved that image as a TIFF file so that it may be opened in AdobePhotoshop. I am now ready to take the image into photoshop to be colored.

Dec 5th

Today I realized the mistake I had made in layering all the images together BEFORE taking them into Photoshop. It was no big problem though, seeing as how all I had to do was delete the single combined image and converted the other images (Red, Blue, etc.) into TIFF files and opened them in photoshop. We also had a discussion in class about the finals week.

Dec 6th

Today I had planned on finishing the color image of Ceres. However on the 2nd step of the procedure, I ran into trouble with the photoshop controls and could not be helped by any photoshop experts. Perhaps tomorrow.

Dec 7th

Today I struggled with the same problems that I encountered yesterday. After writing down the K values of each of the combined images I could not figure out how to copy the images into a single file.
