What do you say regarding the choice of calibration lamp list? (from http://deep.ps.uci.edu/spec2d/cookbook.html)

For DEEP2-like settings (1200 line/mm grating centered at 7800Å), the lamp_NIST.dat list is recommended. But for observations centered blueward or using a lower-dispersion grating, the lamp_NIST_blue.dat list will likely provide better wavelength fits.

I specified lamp_NIST_blue.dat in the plans files being the 600l/mm was used. Do you agree?

I did a run through of the M0018 S2 mask, kind of rudimentarily
