Re: file naming

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

have studied all the correspondence on the mater of file naming and have 
found that we have a consensus.  It is:

jjjjfxxx.fit

The files will be put into directories that identify the camera location.


   where
     jjjj = last 4 day digits of the Julian Date
     f    = filter name (bvri)  d for dark, s (short exposure) for bias.
     xxx  = sequence number starting at 000



I have determined that more of us agree on this format than on any 
other.  ;^)  I am proposing additional letters for darks and bias frames in 
the filter position.  This would make it easier for those of us processing 
images by hand to pick out darks.  Actually, I mostly want to avoid darks 
as I spot check the evening's data.  Possibly not so easy for Rob to make 
changes to his program.  I will often want to pick out a dark through the 
evening to test what the conditions are.  Like how the temperature 
regulation is working, etc.
