Updates today

I updated the FITS header writing pieces of the software today, we should now have:
N_PCA
ITERNUM
PPBEAM

in all new maps.

I'm mapping all of Cygnus degree-by-degree in RA/Dec and Galactic to try to measure offsets... possibly offsets as a function of l/b or ra/dec. I should really be doing this with PPSes, though.

My priority list:
  1. find out what's causing bulk offsets
  2. beat down noise in my pointing models by rejecting bad sources/points [has to be done from campus]
  3. test my personal special pointing models
  4. make maps!
  5. figure out the rest of pointing
