    6363 * The PR reduction class skips background subtraction in an effort to preserve extended emission structures. As a side effect of this process, the final skycells have arbitrary additive offsets which need to be corrected. The IDL script tile.pro does a fairly good job of performing this task. It performs a least-squares minimization of the brightness difference along tile boundaries.

    7576 * Final tweaks to the brightness, etc. are most easily accomplished in GIMP or Photoshop. I often use the color->curves tool to boos the brightness of faint regions and set the black threshhold to cover up noise. My transfer function usually looks something like this:

    8384 * Reduced data from the Fornax cluster display masked annuli around bright galaxies. This should be addressed.

    8587 * The I band stacking of the North American Nebula has been failing. (LABEL NUMBER???)
