PESSTO ePESSTO Phase 3 plan
Deadline for submission to ESO : 31st October 2019
Finish reductions and upload data to QUB : 30th September 2019
Pipeline updates complete : 15th August 2019
People and responsibilities
Dave Young : data manager and submission manager
Tomás Müller Bravo : pipeline adjustments and updates
Erkki Kankare : SOFI imaging and spectroscopic reductions
Mariusz Gromadzki : Gr13 spectroscopic data
Matt Nicholl : Gr11, Gr16, Gr18 and Gr20 spectroscopic data. Plus the EFOSC2 imaging data. (EFOSC2 imaging is not submitted to ESO as a Phase 3 data product. Rather we just place a large tarball of all images on the PESSTO website.

The imaging module : PESSTOEFOSCPHOT has reference catalogues for astrometry and photometry which are inhomogeneous. If it is in the SDSS DR7 footprint then a ZP is calculated, but if not then an average ZP is included. It would be much better to have this changed to the all sky REFCAT2, and images can all be calibrated (at least griz and BVRI) :
