Keeping logs We decided to keep logs for all noteworthy activities that we might forget later. These are plain text files with a name resembling relevant image names. Althogh there is no utility to organize and access these logfiles, they are kept on $DEEPHOME/logbooks/transfer/*.transferlog $DEEPHOME/logbooks/cleaning/*.cleanlog $DEEPHOME/logbooks/reducing/*.reducelog $DEEPHOME/logbooks/tape/tape##.* If new subdirectory is needed feel free to create one. In these files mention date of entry, relevant image names, etc. For example, a transfer log might look like this; dec2994sso.transferlog : Jan 24, 1995 2 AGN2 followup images in R from sso called sn001.fits and sn002.fits Date of Observation : dec 28 or 29, 1994 copied in $dsk5/sso/mike Our tape backup convention is all our tapes are to be assigned a unique (chronological) number and the content of each tape to be kept as $DEEPHOME/logbooks/tape/tape99_jan95intraw.tarlog (if tape99 is tar tape of jan95int raw images). This numbering system also apply for all the original tapes from the telescope. Trouble database Any comment about problem in using a particual image should be kept. Again, there is no utility for these but we are keeping plain text files in $DEEPHOME/database/troubles/*.trouble These are one per image thing so that later we may hook up with our standard routine like readimage.pro to show these text as warning. For example, if jan1295int12ebs.fts has SN candidate but cosmic ray are in the near by pixel causing some trouble, make a file $DEEPHOME/database/troubles/jan1295int12ebs.trouble and type in something like ; Cosmic ray at (245,399) too close to our candidate at (243,400) If a problem is fixed or somehow no longer relevant, move *.trouble file to $DEEPHOME/database/troubles/DONE subdirctory instead of deleting it. Document files for images If there is a peculiar feature of an image useful to remember, it should be kept again as simple text file in $DEEPHOME/database/imagedoc/*.doc. (Ex. $DEEPHOME/database/imagedoc/jan1295int12ebs.doc) The difference of these files and above trouble database files is that trouble files are to discourage use of those images while images with doc files only are all right to be used.
