    Hi All,

    Tomas had a look at the host colors that Rachel posted. We couldn't
    find error bars on all those colors so he experimented a bit with
    errors in the fluxes ranging from 0.02 to 0.1 mag. He did this for both
    apertures quoted and the two knots. So, both knots seem
    definitely to have the same redshift. Depending on
    what the errors actually are, the best fit photo-z's
    come out between 1.69 and 1.86. For all choices, the
    actual distributions around the best fit values are
    nicely gaussian and have a sigma consitent with the range
    above. So, I think the final number will be something
    around z~1.8 +- 0.1. What remains is work out what the
    error on the measured colors are, but looking at Tomas'
    plots, I don't think his analysis would yield a
    different answer for any reasonable values of the errors.

    Cheers,
              Ariel
