I redid the galfit simulations and found quite a big offset between input and recovered values for the Hercules field of view. I tried using the default mips prf for detection, and this worked much better. So, I now have to rerun galfit on Hercules, and this is a good opportunity to document the procedure using a python notebook.

to run on 24um images with PA and BA held fixed at SDSS values: (2015/02/03)

  mkw11.run_just_get_images24(make_mask=1,review_mask=1) # if you haven't made cutouts yet
  mkw11.rungalfit_first_time_24(fitBAflag=False,fitPAflag=False)
  mkw11.write_galfit_sersic_parameters_24()

This made a sizeable difference for Hercules. I also redid the galaxies in A2052, but this made much less difference, and so I went with using the point source from the scan rather than the mips PRF.

I will need to rerun A2052 using the correct PRF, but not today!
