Re: date error, alleged

[Chris Albertson <chrisalbertson90278@yahoo.com>]

Is there a way to trace a data point in the database back to
a FITS image file other then by reasoning it out like  "If it
has this time then it must have come from this image".  In other
words could someone do an SQL querry and ask for all objects from a
specific XXX.FIT file?  (If not then one more thing to fix.)
But assuming there is tracability it might be worth looking at the
time stamps on the FITS files and comparing to the date in the
database.  The error could have been introduced by software
at any point along the way.  In fact if I were betting I'd give
even odds to a software bug and Tom entering the date wrong
