I think a model in which we can say that noise and resolution were set
using HERA and assuming we can remove the continuum would be a lot more
convincing to a referee than using some fake and saying 'the peaks are
10sigma'. and Peter has done such modeling. as for making it a strip,
i think that would be straight forward doing a few sequential fields and
using standard mosaic sofware. peter could probably do this in a
matter of a few days?

Aaron, I played with making the foreground strip smaller, but without
the broader context of the galaxy it was hard to tell the context of
the field on the sky. I've played with the positioning of things to
try and squeeze things a bit more.
About the 'simulations'
Its actually not even a model. Since time was of the essence I
used an algorithm that makes non-gaussian random fields. To make it
look right, I compared with the actual instrumental simulation to
match up the minimum and maximum size scales.

Is this a real image put through the HERA configuration/sampling then
imaged and mosaiced etc... or just the model?
