    Many of the tiles ps files will be in /home/astro80/deep2/acsapr, but
    you need to make sure they are mirrored down to Berkeley first (most of
    which will be). Look at "*.tiles.ps" in that directory.

    However, each candidate will still require somebody to go back by hand
    anyway. Unless "no host" is a throw-out critereon (in whih case we
    should stop saving those in the first place), the tiles postscript files
    aren't going to tell you what you need to do. Fortunately, it doesn't
    take *too* long to use imview to look at the individual images, and in
    90% of the cases where it's a cosmic ray it will be obvious that it is
    so. A couple people need to spend a couple of hours going through the
    gigantic list of candidates an culling out the ones that are obvious
    cosmic rays. Yes, it's a bit slow, and yes, it's drugery, but those
    kinds of things go into a search like this. (Believe me, I know about
    long, slow, drugerous processes with searches!)
