Day 15

I'm leaving early today but that still does not excuse me from my duties of blog writing. Today I spent my time trying to filter my galaxy images, again, the same thing that I have been working on for the past three days. Tom seems to have a lead but cannot seem to save it, and I have taken Jake's advice and gone down a different path. I looked up a new program called ImageJ and had Zosimo install it for me. I haven't gotten to use it yet but I am hoping that it is the exact program that I have been looking for to filter my images and improve their quality. Fridays are definitely different when it comes to the astronomical lab. I think we've gotten used to working with eachother and are starting to have a little fun with it, even though sometimes we feel like throwing the computer out the window. Just taking it one step at a time is a little difficult, at the moment I can't see where my efforts are taking me but I hope that I will be able to see the finished images soon...right after I figure out how to actually filter them. I'm trying my best, maybe next week. Wish me luck.
