Saturday, 26 September 2015. Does Google dream of electric dogs? You may have heard about Google's Deep Dreaming network. Turning completely normal pictures of clouds into surreal cityscapes. I was curious about what would happen if I asked the network to dream about the cosmic microwave background. What is Deep Dreaming? With many layers. So it seems Google has had the most success with a machine learning algorithm that tries to imitate the human brain. Is excellent so I won't repeat it here but will ra...

Technical Consulting; Antique Scientific Instruments; Sundials. The technical world is abuzz with the plethora of large scale telescopes coming over the horizon in the wake of the Hubble Space Telescope’s success (once the right unit system was in use). The Giant Magellan Telescope ( GMT. Is scheduled to be fully up and working in Chile’s Atacama Desert by 2024 and will be the world’s largest optical telescope. The even larger proposed $1.4bn optical Thirty Metre Telescope ( TMT. Australia used in the se...

Figure 1 shows the distribution of Chip heights for the 189 CCDs in the focal plane (we assume worst case height variations of 10 &mu m, tilts of 2.5x10. Radians and a "potato chip" surface variation of 5 &mu m). From this we simulate the variation in the PSF elipticity as a function of postion on the focal plane. Figure 2.
