The Big Picture

• Gather relevant and previously available photometry on NGC 281 (DONE, except Spitzer)
• Gather images from previous surveys (DONE)
• Herschel Images (DONE, but may be reprocessed)
• Aperture Photometry
• PSF photometry (Preliminary version, calibration missing).
• Check Aperture photometry for bad sources, missed sources.
• Create flags for all sources.
• Check Aperture vs. PSF photometry. Select one or the other for each protostar.
• Finalize Herschel photometry
• Merge all photometry.
