Hi again Eric,after successfully dealing with the IFs issue, I have formed the calibration and imaging of each of the two frequencies individually. Everything looks very nice, and I get a very nice detection. However, I'm puzzled by one issue: when imaging the target I get rms noises of 0.1 microJy/beam (while the predicted one for 3h on source is of ~10 microJy/beam)! How is this possible? I also find that at C-band the flux calibrator (3C279) has a flux density of 5.9599E-02 Jy, and the phase calibrator (J1330+071) of 5.4240E-04 Jy, values way lower than the tabulated fluxes.I have revisited all the steps and tables and outputs and everything seems to be correct, so I do not understand what's wrong. Any ideas??Thanks!Mar
