Dennis Wingo: Doing a bunch of clean up today, paperwork and processing framelets! That, to us, amazing image of the horizon from LOV-041, was a highlight. Austin is processing the entire medium resolution image and it should look great in full resolution.
We did run one tape today as the medium resolution image LOV-041m was spread across two tapes and was missing a few framelets. So our head, like Wesley in the movie princess bride, is just mostly dead. We use it when we absolutely have to in order to grab critical pieces of images. So we processed tape G5-145 today. Since we only needed a few framelets off it it, that one is considered done as it overlapped W5-154 and W5-155 and W5-018. Looks like this may help prove the thesis of a lot of overlaps in LOV. It was easy to tell the overlap as the capture time from all of the ground stations is in GMT time.
Here are the images for the tapes that were run last Thursday and Friday that are not recorded yet.
W5-151, partial capture 044M, 045H
W5-152, partial capture LOV-043M, 042M, complete capture 044H
W5-153, partial capture LOV-042M, 043H
W5-154, partial capture LOV-043H (completes image), partial capture 041M,
W5-155, partial capture LOV-041M (G5-145 completes this image), complete capture 042H
W5-156, complete capture LOV-040M, 041H (Messier and Messier A high res)
W5-157, complete capture LOV-039M, partial capture 040H,
W5-158, complete capture LOV-038M, 039H, partial capture 040H (completes image)
W5-159, partial capture LOV-037M, complete capture 038H
W5-160, complete capture 036M, 037H, partial capture 035M
W5-161, partial capture LOV-012H
W5-162, partial capture LOV-012H, 011H, complete capture 010M
W5-163, partial capture LOV-011H, 010H, complete capture 009M
It annoys me that toward the end here they changed tapes in the middle of a high resolution or medium resolution frame, even though the missing pieces are found on other tapes.
