 Thanks very much for the continuation of the on-line stream of very
helpful information.
 The dark current level is excellent indeed.  
 How does the particle rate compare to the one measured in Garching? 

 Best regards,
 Dietrich.

 Here are plots derived from a template of 5 1800s darks taken on 21
