INSTRUCTIONS:

Copy this DVD onto your harddrive. THEN get in here and start
exploring. The computer will work faster accessing the data off the
hard drive than off the disk.

Kinds of files I've given you :
1) fits files -- all called *.fits, need a fits file reader of your
        choice, suggest using ds9; see the wiki for more, e.g.,
        http://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/How_can_I_make_a_color_composite_image_using_Spitzer_and/or_other_data%3F
2) ps files -- all called *.ps, open using native windows application 
	or Mac Preview
3) and a bunch of other ones with different extensions, all of which 
	are in the end SIMPLE PLAIN TEXT files, so if your computers 
	complains about opening any of them, just change the
        filename by adding an extension ".txt" to them, and Windows
        should open them in WordPad, NotePad, or any of a variety of
        plain text editors; Macs will open them in TextEdit.

File names and folder names are meant to be intelligible and indicate
their contents.

README.txt - this file


talks+othermaterials -- copies of my ppt from the intro talks on the first
day, plus movies:

04-projectintro.ppt
05-exercises.ppt
and the same files in pdf

containing the color cuts we are using to pick out YSO candidates:
     gutermuth08.pdf
     gutermuth09.pdf
     gutermuth09_appa.pdf


brc27/ -- the BRC27 field's data, two subdirs listed below
brc34/ -- essentially identical to the brc27 directory, but for the brc34 field.

brc27 dir has:

pipeline/ - exactly what comes out of the SHA (pipeline products)
working/  - copies of the mosaics, renamed, plus stuff I made.

the "working" directory contains:

brc27_i1_mosaic.fits      - mosaic, long frame, irac-1
brc27_i1_shortmosaic.fits - mosaic, short frame, irac-1
brc27_i2_mosaic.fits      - mosaic, long frame, irac-2
brc27_i2_shortmosaic.fits - mosaic, short frame, irac-2
brc27_i3_mosaic.fits      - mosaic, long frame, irac-3 
brc27_i3_shortmosaic.fits - mosaic, short frame, irac-3
brc27_i4_mosaic.fits      - mosaic, long frame, irac-4
brc27_i4_shortmosaic.fits - mosaic, short frame, irac-4
brc27main24mosaic.fits    - mosaic, M24, main field (ancillary field
		has no sources; see the pipeline dir if you want it)
also, see the pipeline dir for coverage, errors, etc.
