I cut down the number of maps made by the pipeline from 80 to 30 by merging regions with severe overlap. I don't think this will result in any net change in efficiency of the mapping process because a few of the maps will go over to swap, but it will reduce the amount of overlap / noisy edges and make debugging simpler. It should also reduce hard drive usage once I decide that I'm satisfied with the results and remove the old (v0.6) redundant data. As part of this process, the reference fields for coalignment have been re-set to the v0.6.2 coadds + some (crappy) mosaics from v0.6.2 so that we no longer need to rely on 3x1's for the alignment. See /data/bgps/releases/v0.7/readme.txt for details (reproduced below) Created 01/14/09 Version 0.7 does not exist yet. This is the 'release notes' indicating what will change -Overlapping redundant fields will be eliminated Mapping of field name to area covered, followed by number of observations included: gemob1: l189-l192 11 - 2 = 9 w5: l135-l138 46 = 46 l133: l133-l134 34 - 1 = 33 l111: l110-l111 88 = 88 l086: l085-l086 17 = 17 l082: l080-l084 33 = 33 l077: l075-l080 43 - 1 = 42 l072: l070-l074 10 - 2 = 8 l065: l059-l069 19 = 19 l055: l053-l058 10 - 1 = 9 l050: l048-l052 19 = 19 l045: l043-l047 20 - 4 = 16 l040: l038-l042 33 - 4 = 27 l035: l034-l037 53 = 53 l032: l031-l033 61 = 61 l030: l030 61 - 3 = 58 l029: l028-l029 53 - 4 = 49 l024: l021-l027 29 = 29 l018: l015-l021 29 - 3 = 26 l012: l011-l014 7 = 7 l009: l008-l010 11 = 11 l006: l005-l007 15 - 1 = 14 l003: l002-l004 25 - 1 = 24 l001: l001 20 = 20 l000: l000 23 - 1 = 23 l359: l359 14 = 14 l357: l356-l358 9 - 1 = 8 l354: l353-l355 3 = 3 l351: l350-l352 9 = 9
