Winsorised sigma clipping rejection values

Thanks Rick,

I've just been experimenting and the numbers do bounce around.  Using the rejection percentages as you suggest looks good.  In my case, they follow a downward trend with increasing SH and I got 0.032% and 0.069% and the MNR was less than 0.5% from the no-rejection figure so I didn't bother going further.  Thanks for the help!

Cheers
Charles

Sounds good, Charles!  It doesn't take long to get a good feel for what amount of rejection is "right" for your particular kit and typical targets.
