Ahh, thanks, that helped! Is the standard error being calculated by 1/sqrt(N-3) though? I ask because visually inspecting the plots of the 6 CCFs I've done, only 4 have a C.I. line that look "about right" according to my own calculations using this formula. The other 2 are a little below my calculations (although probably close enough). However, maybe I caught these two only because in these cases, my calculation happened to be a value above a tick mark while the line shown was below that tick mark. Maybe I'm not using the exactly right formula? Is there a way of extracting the value used? Thanks again!
