Detector read noise 1.20 e
Frame time 10.00 s
Total integration time 800.00 s
Total FOV 14.10 (″)2
Sky background 22.0 mag/(′′)2
0V-mag reference 2.48 × 1010 phot/m2/s

Derived values:

Notes. Total QE describes a combined QE, which includes the system’s optical throughput and detector QE; otherwise detector QE is used.
