RE: file naming
Tom suggested a change, so here is a repeat of the
original message with the update.
Arne
---------------
In the hopes of finalizing this process, I am recommending
the following naming convention as a compromise.
jjjjxxxc.fit
jjjj JD - 2450000
xxx exposure sequence number for the night,
starting at 000 and ending at 999
c 'camera' name
The camera name is A-Z plus 0-9 for a total of 36 cameras.
Each mount holds two cameras, typically V&I filtered, but
with the option of other filters. As Tom finishes each system,
the camera/telescope combinations will be 'named'. Current names:
A TOM V
B TOM I
C ARNE V
D ARNE I
E MICHAEL V
F MICHAEL I
G MIKE V
H MIKE I
I TOM2 V
J TOM2 I
K GLENN V
L GLENN I
This uniquely identifies both site and filter within the 8x3 format.
It only allows for 18 sites, but it may be a while before Tom gets
that far. :-)
