oof! long day.. 6 hours on re-writing codes to check calibration. started working on completeness for final check.. though spending time on previously worked results is not good, stefano also suggests that it is better to ensure the results before finalizing things. Will do skype chat with stefano tomorrow (wednesday) and arjen.

had quite a short work day due to imprs seminar and imprs evening.
I communicated with stefano through couple of emails regarding some questions..
one hour spent on writing up detector settings.
then started working on the stellar locus problem. Aim is to understand the locus of the stellar sources in j-k. Also, I need to check firmly the colors and with musyc since this part. so, I will do a quick revision of this checks again completely ( a quick re-do of work to confirm my plots) for Stefano.

Finish before monday or burst!!!!

Aim: to complete the data section
details: image quality and its variations, source detections (size/stellarity), flux calibrations precision, image depth with 5sigma limits

work done today: few hours for information collection on the above topics. still some questions remains for which i am contacting stefano. Remaining time today has been spent on writing the above information into the draft.

I have been working on to complete the draft. The small things are quite a lot and it takes most of my time.

I had spent today working on producing plots of auto magnitude validation, and write up.. I am still working on that now. Started today very late, by 2 pm. I took 4 hours break in the evening and worked on this till now (5am)..

Started working at 10.30am today.
Had spent first 1 hour reading updates/ Astroph /news.
Starting working on my report. spent around 3 hours writing couple of paragraphs on J-K color plots.
--left home at 17.30
-- started working again at 21.00
4 hours on writing construction of synthetic magnitudes, why used, alternatives, equations.
few hours checking plots on synthetic magnitudes. I am planning to include color normalized by error plot in the paper. So tomorrow, I got to use some time shaping this plot in journal format including overplotting for multiple bins.
Also, I am planning to write remaining part of the paper which is validating total fluxes. I need to check first whether this is required from the Auto-Aper plot and If so, the method for validation (as given in Taylor et al)
