Australia is now in!

But Oscar, you've done well to only have 23 out of 1200, some people have said they are into triple figures, which means there is a lot of chaff in the data! But I am the same.. out of eight I have two which I am convinced are tracks: Movie 305392V1 Movie 6355541V1 both lateral.. and the rest are :o...

Ok, Have been doing this for nearly a week now, and had my first dreams about aerogel!! Think I need to slightly lower my daily target for movies watched... :!: my workmates and friends already think I am a bit nuts for doing this (and I think they are nuts for NOT wanting to do this!). Do people yo...

I really like this one - was worried I might miss a lateral but am happy with this one... http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ ... e_id=45740

You have relieved a little worry of mine, I am also flagging as 'bad focus' those movies where the surface is too close to the bottom of the range. I think it will all come out in the wash though, wont it? if people are incorrectly flagging a movie it just means it will get viewed by an expert? Some...

The movies I find hardest to be confident about are the ones which appear to be slanted. when NOTHING is in focus I put them down as bad focus, but with slanted images the focus of the surface seems to flow from one side to the other - I have yet to find a track in one of these and am wondering if I...

I Have just started using a zoom tool in firefox, to try and pick up any small tracks, but the first time I used and clicked on a track I got a 'wrong' result (my first - not happy!) is it possible that this is caused by the zoom tool? what other methods do people use to maximise the view window? I ...
