These changes should reflect comments from learners at the last edition of our course. Better visualisation and fewer repetitions of timings wrt the four steps in image processing for astronomy. Only the first step is now timed on both CPU and GPU, the next three are only shown on the CPU. The final exercise has been corrected: only the first two steps can be performed by a host/device agnostic function. The last two steps can be combined into a single function, but that will have to be a separate function for the GPU. Learners will need about half an hour for the final exercise of Day 1.
