Real Time Data

["Tom Droege" <droege@snapmail.us>]

I am rappidly getting to the point where I will be able to put up data in
real time.

Since we are taking fixed tiles, the night to night variation of a fixed
star  will be much less than in the previous tass data.  This assumes that
you always compare data from the same tile night to night.

This will make it possible for someone to do a nova/cataclysmic variable
search with about a 3 hour delay.  I am taking data in blocks of about 1.5
hours.  Then it takes about the same amount of time to process the data. 
I could then put it on a computer where someone who was interested could
poll for it's appearance.

For the new data we don't require simultaneous VI detections to measure a
point.  The data shows mag 99 for the undetected filter.  This means there
is a lot more data to look at.

I am now saving the raw data images and everything needed to reconstruct
the result.  There are many other improvements from the last two years of
running.

If anyone is interested in looking at data in real time, let me know and I
will set you up with an account on the proper computer.
