[lsst-dm-stack-users] Request for 2MASS astrometry.net indexes in the LSST style with J, J_err, H, H_err, Ks, Ks_err

[Michael Wood-Vasey]

Dear Dustin,

Thanks so much.  And thanks for getting them ready before last weekend.  I did start running with them then.  I attach here the andConfig.py file I found was needed and useful.

I've now got things set up so that I can go through all 1000 images from SweetSpot in 10 minutes on Carver through the serial queue (more on this to the list in a future writeup).  Most of them fail astrometry -- but more on that later as well (sorry to be a tease; I wanted to give an update but am still sussing things out).

 - Michael

We essentially provide this information on our website already to help coordinate observations with other SN groups in a slightly less convenient form at:
