The most important parameter in the multi-resolution is IMAGRP(11).
Note that I now leave IMAGRP(12 on) at 0.
What I do usually is start up a Clean and write down the peak fluxes
of the dirty image and the beam widths that actually come out. Then I
try to see what IMAGRP(11) would give all resolutions about equal
chance to be Cleaned. Note that a pure point source would have the
same flux in Jy/beam at all resolutions of IMAGRP(11)=0. A pure
extended source would have flux / beam = beam area and so need
IMAGRP(11)=1. If it is only Cleaning the fatest beam then your
IMAGRP(11)=0.5 is too small. Te other parameter that is important is
FGAUS since one wants to cut off the fatest at a higher Jy/beam and so
on pregressively down. I watch the Clean on the TV and can tell when
I wish it would stop Cleaning each facet. NOte that the TV now has an
option to turn off facets so one can do this interactively. I am
often doing this on a line data set and so need the FGAUS so that I do
not do every channel interactively but use more uniform parameters.
