     - after talking with Florian, we reduced the electronic noise for the 
-      low-gain pedestal calculation from 1.5 to 0.8, independent from
+      low-gain pedestal calculation from 1.5 to 1.0, independent from
       inner or outer pixels. 
+    - additionally found a small bug in the calculation of the low-gain 
+      pedestal RMS which amounts to about the same size as the difference 
+      in the assumed electronic noise.
