[Mesa-users] Photo intervals

[Francis Timmes]

a brute force approach, assuming one has the disk space,
is to restart from 500 and set photo_interval = 1.

a more elegant approach would be to detect "the event" from
within a run_star_extras and then write a photo.

These models run for 3000 timesteps. The "event" can happen anywhere from the 500th to 3000th timestep, depending on the conditions of that model in the grid.
