Pay close attention! It is IMPERATIVE that you do a good job. A bad job is worse than no job and will earn you snickers (and we don't mean the candy bar!). 2. Be sure to use the "t" option. And, be sure to "u" before "t" between individual strips. 3. Know how big to make your boxes; use the "m" key when you need to! 4. Know what is a continuum source; do not flag continuum sources. 5. Know what is galactic hydrogen; do not flag galactic hydrogen (or HVC's!). 6. Know when to set the status flag. 7. Save the pos file regularly; occasionally make a copy of it. -- restore,'pos_080418_+020406s.sav' -- restore,'d214400+294831.526180333.sav' -- flagbb,dred,cont_pt,mask,pos,GAUSAV=11,HAN=3,AGC=1,n1=0,n2=6 at end, save badboxes to file filename = bb then save pos file in case of crash save,pos,file='pos_080418_+020406s.sav' Thereafter, hit "o" to enter your own filefor BADBOX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep track of all the drift, give a quality and comment on AGC galaxies detected, others, or rfi problems.

If you get "-1", then you are done! Also at the end, add any general comments about the run, note non-AGC galaxies and anything else that seems particularly interesting or exciting. These comments will be used immediately to identify targets for followup work, so some judgement needs to be exercised as to whether you really believe in the detection/identification. Consult an expert where unsure. On the other hand, if you've found something really interesting, we want to followup asap! ** Overall this is a good dataset, with good baselines and not much rfi ** OR ** Overall good data, except for bm 6, which has frequent power jumps ** altering Sw pattern. In 3 scans GPS is so strong as to mess up full spetrum, ** esp in 535016433 (last scan), rendering some boards nearly unusable. ** Non=AGC galaxies as follows: ** drift beam rec chan vel optID? optpos comment ** d235543 0 430 3348 776 good 2356430+295318 small blue dwarf ** d021714 1 44 2345 6062 maybe 0218510+294040 spiral? ** ** Wright's cloud detected in several drifts. ** AGC 121174 (KKH13) 0238162+295421 cz = 690 km/s strong and narrow, beam 4; nearby dwarf The more information of relevance you convey here, the more helpful to people later trying to track down some mysterious problem. Also if you find anything **really** interesting and are not sure what it means or whether it **really** is interesting, consult with an expert. Perhaps you have made a great discovery! Anyway, good luck, happy hunting, and thanks for contributing to ALFALFA!
