Paper day!
You're doing ground-based high-resolution exoplanet transmission spectroscopy and want to analyse the planet—not the star or Earth's atmosphere.
Is there a way to disentangle your spectrum *without* destroying the planet signal?

Spot the difference (no prizes, easy one!😂).
This is what I've been trying to solve the last few days. Two issues, all good and working now.
I've broken a few old tests in the process of creating the new output, so a bit of clean up, but this is good progress.

After a lot of faffing this week, early this morning, I managed to stage the changes to the GRS calculation on SkyCalPro. That's a big step.
When i get time this week I'll mock it up in production and see if it goes up there too. Hopefully ready publicly in the next couple of days

Getting closer with the new update. Lots of tests and checks have been done and is working nicely on my dev server now. I've started to deploy code on the staging server. Proving hard but I'm getting there. Once it's staged, it will be a short hop to prep it for production. 🤞

A bit of reading and coding by the pool today. I was hasty on the step 4 completion. Just tidied up and got the interfaces working properly. Step 5 will be staging. That will require a production ready database rather than the dev one I’m using now so can wait until I get home☺️

Finding the line yesterday took nearly 300 iterations of badly performing searches to find the observation points. It failed often and took ages to solve.
Now I use vectors-I've reduced the calculations to a few iterations whilst finding the observation site to within 10 meters😎
