    Hi Bahram,
        One point here that's puzzling is that these results imply a photo-z
    for "knot 2" (i.e., the knot under the SN candidate) of about z = 2.1,
    whereas your previous results using the same data (i.e., ACS photometry
    only) gave about z = 1.5. Did you disagree with Rob's ACS aperture
    photometry for that knot?

    Thanks, --Saul
