It's like 4th of July, for astronomers.

I finally figured out what was wrong with Lorant's maser data. The techs had reset an antenna position in the middle of the run. So 75% of the data was flagged on import. D'oh. So I fixed it, and re-calibrated.

Now, I have a little movie that goes through the image cube, from one end of the spectral window to the other. And when I watch the little movie, the masers light up and fade out sequentially. All over the spatial dimensions.

It's like itty-bitty, noiseless fireworks.

Just for me.
