Eric Wagoner 2002-04-16T10:56:10 false I used to be an astronomer

I just stumbled upon a brief description of an astrophysics project I worked on during the summer of 1992, a "non-trivial" massaging of data from a full-sky survey at the 34.5 MHz radio frequency. The results were satisfactory, and to finish the summer I gave a talk in front of the resident astronomers detailing the project. It looks like the entire survey is on-line, complete with images you can see in your browser. My name's not on that page, but I'm pretty sure those are my images. I drifted away from astrophysics the following year, mostly because most of the successful physicists I knew were far more consumed by their study than I wanted to be. Still, it's neat when I run across remnants of my former career path.
