title is hardest part, followed by abstract....
my desire is to be specific and yet encompass all aspects






PAPER PLANNER

Intro
-Why do we care about impacts of solar corona and why do we want improved CCD technology to better understand phenomenon
-Background on CCD cameras and methodology of how to capture picture
-past research done and improvements made


MY PROJECT (DATA REDUCTION TECHNIQUES)
-low-level image processing of CCD images (dark frames, flat fields...etc...)
-how am I a link on the chain (see Timeline)
-how is what I am doing now going to influence the overall work 

Future Work
-applying techniques learned to actual solar coronal imagery
-measuring solar corona at different wavelengths
-construction of CoMP-S







RANDOM INSPIRATIONS
	Morning Friday, June 4, 2010
		-commence with inmportance of solar physics and dangers of cmes and the like
		-explain how imagery will help us better understand phenomenon
		-how imagery is evaluated and uncoded (think of images as a rubix cube and I am trying to solve the puzzle using pst, pres, futr)
