Found position and fluxes for J093_3622 and J1532+4727:

8916: J093+3622
RA DEC NET_COUNTS
142.8321 36.3673    26.3125
142.8057 36.3789   25.750

8917: J1532+4727
RA DEC NET_COUNTS
233.1843 47.4015   48.557


we can now compare to optical data of these events.
Looking into issue of off-field spurious events- think it may be due to the recursive blocking nature of celldetect but I'm not sure. Trying to fix the cell parameter to see if that helps. So far little luck- the parameter must be 1 or a multiple of 3: 1 doesn't find both events (and counts the same event twice, offset by one pixel), 3 still comes up with 6 spurious events, 9 makes 11 spurious events, etc. Attempting to fix a cell and then vary the S/N threshold not particularly successful either. So probably not an effective solution. Trying to build an exposure map as it is supposed to help with edge effects...
