Three more days and counting!! Today I figured out how to rotate the HST images so they would be at the same angle as the Galex images. Then I used congrid to resize the Galex images so that they would match the arc second scale of the HST images. Everything looked good until I went to overlay them at which point I realized that alligning the centers was going to be a little more difficult. The PHD student showed me some procedure in IRAF, another imaging processing programming language like IDL, that might help, but I will have to go talk to him again tomorrow because he said everything so fast that half of it went over my head. Then I made a SBP graph using just the raw data from a point spread function as a sort of proof of concept for the undergrads code. I'm not really sure of the relevance or application of this but Jake asked me to do it at the afternoon meeting with Stefi and Chris so I modified the undergrad code to make it work. Anyway, now theres like 10 minutes until the last meeting of the day so im just gonna hang out for a while. Joe wants our presentations early tomorrow morning so the end is coming fast, faster than I expected.
