Finished?

So, is the mask finished? Almost!

Did everything, Rodrigo Carrasco (Gemini) replied and told me the "secret" that is not so clear in the help page, improved the object selection with help of Iskren Georgiev (AIfA), one of the co-I's, took me the whole day to make things work properly and to finish the mask.

The software doesn't work exactly in real time. You should prepare things first in IRAF, then include somehow info in the header, then find out how to deal with it's automatic way of putting slits ... each step take a while and a lot of "re-doing" ... until I finished the mask.

Great, before sending, let's check in the other image (different filter) to see how it looks like ... and it seems that this other image is a bit "shrunk" ... yes, slits on the right side of the image appear at the right of the objects and at the left side, at the left of the objects ... not much, but enough to look light, something we really need, since the objects are quite faint.

In summary, I asked Rodrigo about it and I'll have to wait for his reply ... of course something would go wrong ...

Meanwhile let's enjoy the olympic games ...
