Observation

Took multiple photos of Pleiades in small field of view in different filters.

Then moved to a wider field of view, no filter. Aiming to use this for HR diagram rather than the smaller field of view:

Star Fitting

Star fitting does seem to work even with the estimated values discussed in last meeting, also need to talk about what Gaussian we are fitting.

Finding Optimum Threshold

Multiplier much higher than expected. Is this something wrong with the simulation or the code? Image used (500 stars):

Star Matching Algorithm

Attempted on real data, haven't actually changed the code yet. But it works for most of the stars using real data:
