variable stars, going beta

Foreman-Mackey showed me a beautiful periodogram (well, actually a generalization of the periodogram to more general periodic functions) for one of the SDSS Stripe 82 RR Lyrae stars. We are so close to being able to start a proper search for new stars. Lang and I worked on tasking Lalimarmo and Chen (our GSOC team) on critical tasks for taking Astrometry.net to beta on the web. Part of the issue is keeping the development cycle non-onerous but data-preserving.
