If my guess is right: Did you ever compare drizzling against sub-pixel alignment?

Hi Suavi,

I think that Erwin is asking if you created the original (non-drizzled) images using nearest neighbour interpolation as opposed to one of the other modes that does sub-pixel alignment. Nearest neighbour can give a blocky appearance.

Erwin: I'll let Suavi answer about his data but my experience with undersampled data is that Drizzle still does a much better job of rounding up stars than sub-pixel interpolation without Drizzle.

Cheers,
Rick.
