Pointed observations

For pointed mode exposures of n elementary images corrected for dark and flat-field with quality and , respectively, the uncertainty for a single pixel, , is obtained as the quadratic sum of:

where:

As a consequence of formula gif above:

, the HF readout noise of the array.

is the uncertainty on the dark frame.

is the noise due to the accuracy of the flat-field given by:
