Table 1d: Reflections from distant bright stars

The code (Cde) is as follows --
 
   b - backgrounding problems
   c - cosmic ray
   e - electronic artifact
   g - glint from edge of chip
   i - insect trail
   m - meteor trail
   r - reflection artifact from bright star
   s - satellite trail

Key refers to the cntr in coadd_dat (the "coadd_key").
