     Bmax from krisciunas2003 where the full JD Bmax is JD 2452182.5

     As far as I know this is the complete log of the mattile2005
     and wang2003 spectra.
     3 mattila2005 dates.
     5 wang2003 dates.
     I know of know other spectra.

COMMENTS: It seems pretty clear that the SUSPECT wang2003 spectra have been deredshifted. The telluric line has been removed and so it is hard to tell. But the place that it has been removed seems to be it's blueshifted location. See f4.ps Also the two version of the 2001sep26 (Branch and SUSPECT) agree best when no deredshifting corrections are applied and the Branch-version is clearly deredshifted since it has the telluric line. See f5.ps. The two version don't seem to have quite the same deredshifting or be quite the same in other respects especially on the red side. I have assume that all the SUSPECT spectra have been deredshifted. OBSERVATIONS: From 1) David Branch in /home/branch/synow/01el: Seems to just have the mattila2005 2001sep21 spectrum. But he also has different versions of the wang2005 spectra from SUSPECT. But they are not easy to find. 2) Eddie Baron: Seems to just have the mattila2005 2001sep21 spectrum. 3) SUSPECT: the 5 wang2003 spectra.
