analysis of M82 data

M82 was observed during two days in early April and one day in late April.  Lero 
has send spreadsheets to Giles with FAZO, FZAO for all three days.

For cases where the pixel offsets (dither pattern) were not recorded in the excel 
logsheets, Lero has guessed at what the likely values were, based on adjacent 
observations.  He then checked these guesses by looking at the offsets stored in 
the files and converting these to pixel offsets using an empirical formula.  He 
tested the empirical formula against cases where the pixel offsets *were* recorded 
in the excel logsheets, to verify that it works properly.

Hiroko work on RGM:

Hiroko explained that it will take some time to figure out whether we can unflag 
more pixels for the November run.  For August this was an easier call to make, 
since patterns were observed in Darren's rgm files that could be interpreted as 
indicating that in some cases pixels were needlessly flagged.  We need to find such 
patterns in the November rgm files.  She plans to start this work in June.
