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!)
