Hi,

The github https://github.com/radio-astro/mirpy states py3 compatibility.

When setting up a conda environment with python 2.7 and using pip to install mirpy I get the the error that the module doesn't have the attribute atlod or set_filter.

Cheers,

Hi, I'm attempting to use atlod in mirpy and I'm running into many issues. My current execution is detailed in the figure. Now I've tried the filter: def atload_filter(output): return output.decode() miriad.set_filter(‘atload’, atload_filter) But I get an AssertionError with not details. Any help wo...

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply, it was the 6A configuration.

Hi, I'm getting a weirdly elongated beam from my reduction, and a corresponding non detection. The ra and dec for my source is: 05 16 00.4764811920 -09 48 35.394685295 I'm finding this very strange because: (1) The weather was great (image attached) (2) The elevation for the majority of the observat...

Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply, I believe I've shifted correctly. So looking at the image attached, it has the star centred on a two sigma detection (adjusted with gaia proper motions) but there's a 4 sigma detection below. How do I use two phase calibrators to check position errors to see if this 4 ...

Hi, I'm attempting to centre my targets for imaging purposes and I'm having some issues. I've been correcting the RA and DEC with the proper motion of my targets (for targets with recent gaia measurements) and centering on the new RA and DEC with a variety of results. Some targets centre accurately,...

Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply. A few questions, (1) From previous forum posts I discovered it's unnecessary to RFI flag on 7mm data, but for cases like this I would need too? And in that case I'd want to use: pgflag vis=visfile stokes=xx,yy device=/xs and command=<b for the RFI automatic flagging? (...

Hi, I've reduced 7mm observations (6A config) and have attempted to image the result. The obs had nice weather with an average seemon rms of 150. Before I uvcat the 33GHz and 35GHz vis files into a 34GHz file I image each separately. For natural weighting, the 35GHz vis data produces an expected ima...

Great thanks again!

Hi Mark,

I've implemented the fwhm parameter into invert for some of my faint sources. I received a higher peak flux but also a higher rms, and subsequently a lower S/N. Does this suggest my former method produced a more accurate reading? Or can I trust this higher flux reading?

Cheers,
