[daip] imagr

Hi Eric,
I have two of my summer students (high school and an undergrad)   working 
on imaging 15 overlapping fields 
covering the Orion nebula at 6cm in all four arrays. The students have 
combined all the uv data and have been playing around with multi-resolution
feature of imagr. They really need some guidance as to what parameters 
work from someone who has a lot of experience. Can you help us out with 
this. Three  resolutions corresponding to three  different arrays have 
been used  but only one low resolution image gets cleaned. What are the 
controlling parameters that are needed to make all different resolution images cleaned.
I appreciate your quick help on this.
Cheers,
Farhad

Here are the parameters they are using:
