Hi Kate,

There is still something wrong I am afraid. The RMS fit should be better than 1 Angstrom. For example I have just run a Balmer line calibration on one of my recent reference stars and get the following results (ALPY 600 2xbin 4.54um pixels, pixel size set to 8.97A   (3123/348) )

Wavelength fit deviation

point #1  x = 143.059  lambda = 3835.148  dlambda = 0.242

point #2  x = 154.045  lambda = 3888.984  dlambda = 0.066

point #3  x = 170.621  lambda = 3970.476  dlambda = -0.396

point #4  x = 197.253  lambda = 4101.992  dlambda = -0.242

point #5  x = 245.161  lambda = 4340.028  dlambda = 0.452

point #6  x = 349.413  lambda = 4861.473  dlambda = -0.133

point #7  x = 696.362  lambda = 6562.787  dlambda = 0.023

point #8  x = 762.564  lambda = 6872.013  dlambda = -0.013

If you email me your spectrum image fits file, I can see if i can get a better result if you like

EDIT: typo in pixel size corrected (4.54 not 5.45)

Cheers
