Fergus and I finished our NSF pre-proposal today.
At Google, Roweis and I discussed the possibility of using Flickr and Picasaweb as front ends for Astrometry.net, thereby offloading image storage expenses to existing (and popular) web services. The main issue is that these services only accept human-viewable image formats like PNG and TIFF, not scientific data analysis formats like FITS. So I worked on methods for conversion that preserve the most scientific information possible.
