Guys - here's a simple little spread-sheet that you can start playing
with.  Sorry it's not distributed on the web, but I'm heading off for a
European sojourn in a couple of hours and this was the easiest way for me
to communicate.

Features include:

Left-hand columns: Instrumentation variables.  The freedom to vary these
increases as you go from white-to-blue-to-yellow.

Right-hand (grey) columns:  Derived quantities - the most interesting of
which is SNR, of course.

The numbers in the continuum flux table at the bottom are pretty old - if
any of you have better numbers, please let me know.

Of course, the most important aspect of this for me is for you to spot
errors and get back to me.

Enjoy,
        Keith
