RMS from repeatability versus magnitude

The plots below show measures of sigP1 from multiframe (effectively the 1-sigma uncertainty in source-magnitude for a single-frame exposure) versus profile fit magnitude. Four test tiles from AllSky processing (v4 - blue points) are compared to versions from post-cryo testing (v5 - red points).

The horizontal lines mark the single-frame 5-sigma levels, and the vertical dashed lines are the approximate corresponding magnitudes using a windowed-mode on the sigP1 distributions. These limiting magniudes are given below.

*** Note: the v5 mag limits here may be affected by non-optimal zero-point calibrations.
