OBJECTIVE: Learning IDL tutorials

REPORT: Exciting first week! Suman taught us the basics for IDL- creating images and making movies. I had never used IDL or Solar Soft before so there was a bit of a learning curve. This week also served as an introduction into solar physics- had a few lectures on the solar spectrum and started reading "Encyclopedia of the Sun". Professor Charles Kankelborg also came and gave us a lecture on the FURST project and showed us his lab.


CAPTION: My first test plotting monthly averaged sunspot data! Gentle reminder for future to always add axes labels and titles - see next week for improvement :D
