Now it works!

Photometry. Back to the basics! Read manuals and commented manuals ... thanks to a good text from Caitlin Casey about "Optimizing SExtractor parameters for Subaru MACS fields" I've got some good hints and managed to get to a set of parameters that works well in our case. 

Redid the photometry for one of the clusters, checked it and got satisfied with the result. Now is redoing for another 2 clusters which I think the photometry could be improved. Of course it's not a plain application since for one of them images are not coming from the same instrument ... but it will be done tomorrow.

Then I have to find out the objects that are not in the first photometry and do surface modeling and CAS measurements.

Also select our spectroscopic targets and also prepare the photometric tables for photo-z and kcorrection.

Forgot to mention that on monday I've got the pre-imaging for our first group in VLT. No time for it now, but we still have time until mid september.

BTW, got my driver's license today! Page turned ...
