MEETING 1: 14/10/2016

-Reverse grayscale as black dots easier to see on white background

-Pixel Values set from 0-max pixel value of the image

-Bright pixels clearly seen

• Dark Frame at 300s exposure:
  

• Dark Frame at 300s exposure, maximum value set to the image median multiplied by 2:

-Fill function scans for black pixels and finds adjacent black pixels, fills them red

-Counting begins when black pixel is found

-Function returns number of stars and coordinate of brightest pixel

MEETING 2: 21/10/2016

• Fits files from Aaron converted to monochrome images

• Image of single star
  
• The maximum pixel value was found to be 65195 from the fits file, as opposed to Aaron's given value of 65535
• Threshold of 100 set so if pixels are above this value they are set as white background, if below they are coloured black (remember reverse grayscale)
  
• Program locates star and returns count of 1

• Image of 8 stars
  

• Maximum pixel value found to be 62673, compared to Aaron's 60000
• Threshold set as 20 so that stars don't touch, achieves accurate count of 8
  
•
