Day 6

Came to work to find out that we are no longer having any morning meetings because Jake is teaching a class in the morning and cannot attend our morning debriefing. The undergraduates that are helping us out were also teaching classes in the morning so there wasn't much work that got done only because I kept getting errors. The hardest part about idl is that if you type in a command and forget to put in maybe one comma, it will give you an error and the program won't do what you want it to. So I spent the morning trying al different ways of putting things in and rearranged the syntax of the command with no such luck. I also spent the rest of the day gathering infrared data from Karla, another undergraduate working with the astronomical imaging group. She hadn't gotten a chance to resize any of the images yet, which pretty much means that I'll have to do that in order to work any further with them. I did manage to open up one of the images but unfortunately it is a larger image than the UV images I have. I think I'm going to have a LOT of trouble with getting the different types of images of the same galaxy match perfectly over one another.
