HST archive and data

With the help of Karen Levay at STScI (because of previously mentioned StarView bugs), Phil and I got a list of every single Northern Galactic Cap ACS and WFPC2 exposure that was longer than 60 s of exposure time and within 3 arcmin of any SDSS LRG target (observed spectroscopically or not). This search returns 5795 public-domain exposures by 1090 LRGs; we expect about 500 of these to actually be in the images. We start the SFTP on Friday. There is lots of science to do in the HST–SDSS overlap.

Phil and I followed this with some arts and crafts: Tweaking color schemes on images of possible HST-discovered lens systems, and bug reporting and bug fixing in the ACS WCS tools.
