Abstract
We present an insight into the data characteristics expected from the planned observations of debris discs using the Herschel space observatory. This poster focuses specifically on the quality and depth of the data. We analyse and compare the influence of the various observing modes on confusion noise and data quality, and present the optimal mode for the both the PACS and SPIRE instruments.
