In Figure \ref{fig:HDA_z60_nopriors} we present the results for $0.6  To assess reasonable priors on $\alpha$ and $\epsilon$, we examine propositions of MCMC when analyzing the Planck temperature anisotropies and examine predictions for $\alpha$ and $\epsilon$ at our redshifts of interest ($0.44,0.6,0.73$). Assuming an $ow$CDM model, we obtain a 68\% CL region of $22\%$ for $\alpha$ and $\sim 2.5\%$ for $\epsilon$. Examining a more restrictive flat-$\Lambda$CDM model we find a 68\% CL region of $2\%$ for $\alpha$ and similar for $\epsilon$. We argue that the reason the $\alpha$ of Planck are sensitive to assumption of flatness and $w$ and $\epsilon $\epsilon$  is not is due to the capability of Planck to constrain $H_{\rm 0}$, which $\alpha$ is sensitive to, but $\epsilon$ is not.
