Different algorithm to calculate poisson statistics #13

At the moment counting statistics are calculated as sqrt(N) where N is total number of observed photons. This has the effect of increasing the error with a larger background estimation integration window. This should be recalculated in a way which reduces the overall error when the background integration window is increased.
