Abstract
Mopra windstowed and has < 1/2 hour of data. The delays between Mopra/Ceduna are very unstable, and seem to be only in IF1. there are no indentifiable fringes to VSOP from Ceduna or Mopra (in IF1). The correlator flag table flags all Ceduna data. Failure. Repeat.

Comments on Difmap processing
Used the ATCA flux monitoring value as the zero baseline flux, which produces a size of 8mas. Not sure how valid this is!
