Various bits from the Monash '99 Visit


There's not much here, but I did promise you I'd put up a copy of the M20 picture you took on yout last visit. Sorry it has taken me a while. I've been observing pretty much non-stop since you were here.


This one is rather rough. It is clearly affected by many cosmic rays which I have not removed. Also the colour balance looks suspicious. Wouldn't we expect the spiral arms to be a bluer, though it rather depends what filters we used for this one. I would have to look that up.

I'm sure you don't really want it, but here's your Damyan program too!
program damyan is wrong
parameter (m=1000000)
integer kid1(m),kid2(m)
iseed=7788787
do i=1,m
kid1(i)=(ran(iseed)+.5)
kid2(i)=(ran(iseed)+.5)
enddo
do i=1,m
if (kid1(i).eq.1) then
kount=kount+1
if (kid2(i).eq.1) kount2=kount2+1
endif
enddo
print *,kount2/real(kount)
end
