All,
I made an error when I was cleaning up the paper. I said on page 6:
"From this it can be seen that at each pixel location the continuum is
the difference between M and the intensity value at that pixel location
as a proportion of M, where M=1."
M is not equal to 1. It is the mean of the intensity values in the
region selected that has no spectral lines. I added this sentence
subsequent to the presentation, and in my rush to get it out to this
group I did not catch my error.
