    Report from Rob and Rachel:

    Summary: we missed a bunch of them because they are very low percent
    increase. At least three were near the middle of brightish spiral
    galaxies.

    I have saved a candidate for each of Adam's that we missed.

    Specifics:

    > tile 24
    >
    > 1) Pele
    > 12:36:25.94
    > +62:09:37.44

    This is our acs04-176, and is on our list of things to watch.

    > 2) Adu
    > 12:36:20.8, 62:10:19.7

    This is our acs04-177, and is on our list of things to watch.

    > 3) Beckenbauer
    > 12:36:41.1, 62:11:41.3

    This is off in the corner of the "canted" field, and was not in the
    region that we subtracted.

    We're not sure where we have identified this one yet. Our software
    didn't pick it up, and there's no obvious residual in the area that
    could be this candidate. There is a big galaxy here, and there is a
    *faint*, almost candidate (that was not identified by our software) that
    is saved as acs04-192 which is a coincidence of cosmic ray.s

    > 5) Maradona
    > 12:36:19.86
    > 62:13:48.09

    In the middle of a galaxy, %INC was 15, which was below our cut of 25.
    Saved as acs04-193.

    > 6) Chinalia
    > 12:36:27.06
    > 62:15:09.70

    This one had a %INC of 19.5 and so got thrown out. I saved it as
    acs04-194.

    > 7) Salas
    > ra=12:38:03.64, dec=62:17:11.9

    This one had %INC of 18, and is in the middle of a bright galaxy.
    There's a spot there from a year ago. Type II in a giant HII region?

    > 8) Zamorano
    > host: 12:37:09.42, 62:22:14.75

    We found this as acs04-076

    > 9) pine
    > 12:37:06.7, 62:21:17.75

    This one was missed as 15%INC. We have saved it as acs04-196.

    > 10) Mahogany
    > 12:37:22.7, 62:09:35.75

    This is acs04-096.

    > 11) Teak
    > 12:37:21.33 62:09:35.24

    This was missed completely by our software. It's weird; it's on a
    galaxy that has a bright spot right next to it, and the candidate is
    right next to the spot. I don't know why our software missed it; it
    didn't even get picked up to fail the cuts. I have saved it as
    acs04-197.
