    Plots from Mike for today's discussion.

    > Two plots are attached. These show the distribution of
    > 850LP-K_short color for the two RCS clusters for which we have a)
    > complete
    > HST z-band data, and b) deep (multi-hour sub 0.5 arcsec with 8m class
    > telescope) K_short imaging. The plots show the distribution of colors
    > normalised to the cluster red-sequence, for only galaxies
    > morphologically
    > consistent with being E-gals. These include a fit which attempts
    > (fairly
    > sucessfully I think) to untangle the cluster and file constributions.
