    11I've compared the 816 processed images from the July 2009 data release to SDSS to get zero points for each image.  For y band I fit y_{PS} - z_{SDSS} versus i_{SDSS}-z_{SDSS} and got a slope of -0.247.  Using this I made a simulated y-band magnitude for each SDSS star as y_{SDSS-sim} = z_{SDSS}-.247*(i_{SDSS}-z_{SDSS}), assuming that stars of zero i-z color should have zero z-y color.  I used the resulting simulated y-band magnitudes to compute the PS zero points.
