For large-aperture ground-based telescopes operating in the visible spectrum, the seeing limit is the dominant effect. Atmospheric turbulence is a bigger factor than the precision of your optics, in other words. See…
Assuming you mean FITS when you refer to the weird file format, you may be interested in this (well-maintained, mature) Python wrapper library: http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/io/fits/ FITS does a lot of stuff that…
I was using Evernote (and resenting it) until they gave me a reason to switch... so far, still haven't found the perfect solution. I've tried Quiver for Mac (http://happenapps.com/#quiver) and MS OneNote for Mac and iOS…
Not really my department! I do work at STScI, which operates the MAST archive that will eventually hold all this data, so I'm sure someone in my building knows.
I'm working on WebbPSF, a tool to simulate PSFs for the Webb instruments. I'm also adapting it for WFIRST, a future mission. It's going to be kind of like TinyTim is for Hubble when it's done.
This video shows the steps that take it from a folded-up thing stuffed into a rocket to a deployed telescope at L2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTxLAGchWnA The rocket is out of the picture fairly early on in the…
Hey, my job's on HN! I work on JWST (simulation software, among other stuff) and I think it's pretty cool too :)
Cool stuff. I once had something similar for the scary-sounding Jenzabar LMS that I used in college. Have you tried this on other Blackboard deployments? Looks like the QuikPay stuff at least is U. of Rochester-specific.

Execution is a multiplier, bro. Don't see you doing anything.
