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) )

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

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
