- The different centeroids will be available in the final jupyter notebook.
- The fixed focus before the trials start:
That was the best I got at the limited time. It still gave decent sources. - Focus when I checked to see what went wrong around midnight:
At that point, it looked good which was shocking but it may have been slightly tilted. I readjusted the focus when I went up just in case. - The final state of the pegboard after readjustment:
I am aware I should have documented the final focus as well. I unfortunately did not. It had looked okay and I wanted to get out of the dome to not have any background light while the observations were running. - A possible camera issue: The camera names files from 0 9999. After it reaches 9999 it goes back to 0. If we get more than 10000 photos in a run, that may be a problem because the files with the same name will be in the same directory. I can try to write a python script to add some sort of an additional extension or time stamp to the names of the file.
Observation notes after and during analysis:
- With the excitement of last night, I had confused the meaning of the location of an object in terms of rows and columns to x and y.
- This means we have the camera shaking up and down, the row values are oscillating, but the columns are decreasing. Which means the image is moving left because the camera is rotating more right.
12/14/22: Day 7:
- Plan for the day:
- Take the time stamps of all the files, reorganize the files in a way that we only use good files.
- Make it very clear in jupyter notebook what I did.
- Run the analysis.
- If additional time, work to make DIMSUM sturdier.
