The check star mags are used to create (C-K) and therefore the HQerr
field in the database.  The check star magnitudes themselves are
of course in the raw input file from the user that we do archive,
but are not normally stored in the searchable database.
I've asked Kate to insert any entered check star magnitude into
the comment field as a temporary solution to ensure downloaded
data shows the check star magnitude.
Thanks for pointing this out, Walt.
