Fake Clusters (PRELIMINARY)

I've begun putting fake clusters into the XMMJ1230 timestreams. To remove the cluster signal every other scan is inverted before the cluster simulation is added. Light filtering shows no signal for a 500uK CMB cluster. INTERESTING: The scans with no cluster simulation show large scale structure - possibly atmospheric residual signals. But the simulated map doesn't. If there's not atmosphere left in the simulation, why don't we see the simulated cluster?
