\section{Niter} \section{Casa settings}  To ensure that analysis is valid, we must first ensure that our setting in CASA are correct. The two contentious settings are the Number of iterations of cleaning we go through and the threshold at which cleaning starts (ends?).  \subsection{Cleaning Iterations}  This setting is called 'niter' in CASA and defaults to 0, which just outputs the dirty image. The definition can be found \href{http://casa.nrao.edu/docs/UserMan/UserMansu297.html}{in the CASA manual}. Cleaning will continue for at most 'niter' minor cycles.  The follow graphs so results obtain with the same configuration apart from the number of cleaning iterations. 1000 and 10000 were chosen.
