    179179The wide-field \PSONE\ telescope consists of a 1.8~meter diameter
    180180$f$/4.4 primary mirror with an 0.9~m secondary, producing a 3.3 degree
    181 field of view \citep{2004SPIE.5489..667H}.  The optical design yields low
    182 distortion and minimal vignetting even at the edges of the illuminated
    183 region.  The optics, in combination with the natural seeing, result in
    184 generally good image quality: the median image quality for the 3$\pi$
    185 survey is FWHM = (1.31, 1.19, 1.11, 1.07, 1.02) arcseconds for
    186 (\grizy), with a floor of $\sim0.7$ arcseconds.  The \PSONE\ camera
    187 \citep{PS1.GPCA} is a mosaic of 60 edge-abutted $4800\times4800$ pixel
    188 back-illuminated CCID58 Orthogonal Transfer Arrays manufactured by
    189 Lincoln Laboratory \citep{2006amos.confE..47T,2008SPIE.7021E..05T}.
    190 The CCDs have 10~$\mu$m pixels subtending 0.258~arcsec and are
    191 70$\mu$m thick.  The detectors are read out using a StarGrasp CCD

    215 The data processing steps are described in detail by Waters REF and
    216 Magnier REF.  In summary, individual images are detrended:
    217 non-linearity and bias corrections are applied, a dark current model
    218 is subtracted and flat-field corrections are applied.  The \yps-band
    219 images are also corrected for fringing: a master fringe pattern is
    220 scaled to match the observed fringing and subtracted.  Mask and
    221 variance image arrays are generated with the detrend analysis and
