adapt code so it can be run on K2 #17

Open davidwhogg opened 10 years ago

davidwhogg commented 10 years ago

This is for @mrtommyb . The issues include (but are not limited to):

need to separate photometry from plotting
need to refactor the photometer_and_plot function into parts
only want (probably) the DOPW and OPW photometry, at least for now

I can help with all these things.

I've been testing this out on K2 data. I'm using a 20x20 pixel window to run the OWL on. It's taking forever (40+ mins... its not got through OPW yet). I think its getting stuck in the optimization.

The code gets stuck in the optimization. With maxfun and maxinter set to infinte the code can run forever, and seems to be doing so. We should think of a sensible stopping criteria. I think I'm finding this a problem because I start with a bigger mask size than you did.

You can't run on a 20x20 window -- not a good idea. We should work in a window the size of the biggest aperture you would ever use, which for a saturated star is probably only 9x9...
