Thousand small things

Got the postage stamps with pixel size 0.05 for the one cluster we have pixels 0.03. Now a comparison of parameters will be made to address how this changes the values.

Nice lunch talk by Don Hall about the new generation of IR detectors, cool things ahead! Can't comment much, since solid state physics was never attractive to me, but the idea is finding a way to minimize read noise, since seems that CMOS have an intrinsic read noise and that could not be improved in the last 20 years, so new materials and approaches are necessary.

Some discussion about the FORS2 imaging and I realize something was missing, now I'm checking what was wrong. Also discussing some IDL coding with Bodo to prepare tables for sky subtraction.

Trying to figure out the best way of writing from IDL into a SDSDAS table. Anyone???
