Finding the surfacein Phase II
There is also the problem that there will, on average, only be about 1/4 the dust/surface features in each movie compared to phase I, so there are likely to be more movies with no surface features to tell us whether the focus is correct or not. I ahve noticed a lot of movies that are almost complete...

I think either there is a mix-up with the coordinate system or with the movie numbering. But it seems to more than a conincidence that there is *something* that comes into focus below the surface in each movie, so I am guessing that is what they have singled out for further inspection, and that the ...

Is there something wrong with the coordinate system?
In most, if not all al the movies listed above, "something" comes into focus below the surface, probably an inclusion. The weird thing is they are never at the coordinates indicated! Usually, there is nothing visible at the coordinates indicated. Is there something wrong with the coordinat...

I think we need a "no idea" option!

Icebike, you make some good points. 1) I can't find reference to 4 viewings either, although I am sure I read it a while back. As you say there is reference to 10 viewings. 2) True, people on $20 an hour might not be as diligent as volunteers, on the other hand they might be more diligent if well se...

The camara looks at four places (I believe it's four places) on a particular cell and uses the average of the four as its point of reference for scanning the whole cell. Check out Dr. Butterworth's last report on their progress in dealing with this process. OK, no doubt it is being improved. What I...

What is the real reason for using volunteers?
While we are on the subject of questioning whether the stardust@home project is the most efficient and cost effective approach... Perhaps it is mean-spritied of me, since I enjoy looking for tracks and contributing to this project, but I have to say I find the original justification for this approac...

I agree entirely, the most interesting features are going to be appear from below, the time waiting for the movie to arrive would be much better spent looking at the movie reveal itself from the deepest to the shallowest. A related point. Most of the out-of-focus movies don't go deep enough, and man...

Sticky for negative Calibration movies with possible tracks
I think there should be a sticky (in both the Problems and Support forum, and the Discussion forum) where we can all post the ID#s of "no-track" calibration movies that have features (inclusions, etc.) that could reasonably be clicked on as tracks (use the bak button to get the ID#). We ca...

Re: timeout while scrutinizing a speckle(?)
What do you think of "2731693V1" ...? Good observation geoli. I think 2731693V1 ( http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/myevents_viewer.php?id=2731693V1 ) is very interesting! Normally that lens dust speck at the top stays the same at any depth, but on this one there is the surrounding &...

What about opening the My Events page in another tab?Mighty Pete wrote:My cursor is changing from the hand to the text bar to other icons..
The cure: reload the VM page after you return from the My Events page using the back button.

farpung...interesting...would like to go a few frames deeper because the circle of the possible track comes into focus at the same time as a lot of the rest of the surface. I think I would have marked this as bad focus. Good point that the possible track in http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/my...
