Starship Asterisk*

Is it possible to list the links to all the photometry files for a night only at the end of the page?. I guess that would make it much easier to look for stars which are having the photometry data available for a perticular night. Also we need not write the star names in the photometry tables for which photometry data is not available.
Heres what I mean. Present photometry links files looks like this.
145102: FITS | BACK | OPACITY | Photometry | UNANNOTATED | ANNOTATED
144309: FITS | BACK | OPACITY | Photometry | UNANNOTATED | ANNOTATED
143912: FITS | BACK | OPACITY | Photometry | UNANNOTATED | ANNOTATED
.............................
..................................

Instead we can just do like this
145102: FITS | BACK | OPACITY | UNANNOTATED | ANNOTATED (Photometry link removed)
..................
..................
and at the end of the page , we can put a link for Photometry

And the photometry links would contain only those stars for which photometry data is availble for that perticular night. It might look like this.

I think this is a good idea. It seems like it would make the data more organized and easier to sort through. I recommend we look into this.

Hi guys,

I like the part where there is a link to all of the stars where a non-zero photometry file exists for that night. The problem is that the program can't know that until the end of the night which stars it did photometry for at some point in the night. So perhaps these files can be created at sunrise, before the sunset switch turns the machine off (to stop it from baking in the Sun). It would take up little computer time, disk space, and bandwidth, too. All we need is for someone to write the code! (Is that a volunteer hand I see waving way in the back?)

Besides that, I think the old photometry links can be somewhat useful (I use them) and don't take up much space. Yes, the page looks a little cluttered but I didn't think was a major problem here.
