Post 300

Post 300 with good news!

After a bunch of small problems trying to recover CNOC mags, define Gunn filters and so on, we decided to test te proceedure in another cluster, to which we have 6 gals with VRI FORS photometry and M_B estimated with a classic k-correction.

Results are consistent with those already published, what is great, since kcorrect is a "assumptions free" method and the classic you have to assume a galaxy type, which is not a easy thing at high-z ...

The discussion of the day was about internal extinction correction (inclination dependent). If it should be applied before applying kcorrect or after it ... differences are smaller than 0.05 mag ... so ... robust result :-))

Embassy paperwork solved perfectly in Berlin on friday, nice weekend there (bad weather, but ... it's Germany, you know ... hehehehehe) and good friends!

Monday couldn't have started better ... :-)))))
