    Hi Greg,

      The roblight file is in error. Somebody mistakenly called the JKT
    images INT when they loaded them into the database. Luckily, because
    of the 'local standard star' step of the analysis, this doesn't matter
    much (the only error induced is that the same extinction term was
    incorrectly used for the JKT and the INT, but since they are at the same
    observatory it should be pretty good). So Rob's table is correct.

    Here is my previous email on the subject:
