  1. Talk with Andy to figure out what output they want
  2. Convert pixels to RA, Dec for each image and then add it all together. Use to make a template and search for transients. 
  3. Things to fix / look at: secant, stars that have magnitude issues (look constant)
  4. Make the deltax, deltay plots

1. Create a public fits files directory

2. [coughlin@lsst-dev ~]$ pwd

3. Create master catalog for all stars by looking at photometry over all the nights
   - Then will not have to recreate mapping for each night
   - TODO: Michael and Jamie
   - CS: There are existing catalogs of stars, for example the paper I sent you with bright stars and their griz-band magnitudes. It's better to get an external catalog
with excellent astrometry than to make our own, I think. 

4. Abi (dophot) can fit individual images to extract magnitudes (compare with tphot/source extractor)

5. Search for transients with image subtraction (pixel by pixel image difference)
   -> Convert (x,y) to RA/Dec (w/ fisheye)
   - CS: Converting to RA, DEC is not enough. We'd have to rotate the images about the celestial pole, match PSF and sky, and then subtract.
Sounds hard.
6. For a given star, plot the magnitude differences vs fractional pixel remainder of the centroid (1024.35 -> 0.35) -> probably worst for R/B due to 1 pixel, different for x and y
 

7. Can see milky way in cloud plots -> problem with sky brightness in photometry. Fix!
