Hello, I would like to ask a question about imagr.
If I set my cellsize too low it says "solution for restoring beam failed".
I can set a lower cellsize, but I want to map a major part of the primary
beam, so with a lower cellsize I need a larger number of pixels, 4096
instead of 2048. Then I get another message, "EXISTING IMAGE AXIS  1 SIZE
INCOMPATABLE 4096 2048", see below. There are only a few thousand
visibilities available with a uv spacing larger than 0.7. I don't want to
set uvmin any lower than 0.7.
Can you help me?
Thank you,
Hanno Spreeuw.
