+(back to [wiki:MediumDeepFields] summary)
+
+Similar to the MD08.GR0 ([wiki:MD.GR0#MD08.GR0]) refstacks for the 2011/2012 season, these include recent improvement and input cuts to help constrain the convolved stacks as well. Because the refstack is made with reprocessed pixels, the refstack pixels will now have the ubercalibration and all current detrend calibrations for the new season. Overall fewer inputs to the refstack were done this round and may not be as deep as last season.
+
+MD08 observations:
+ * starting ~mid-April 2013, already pre-obs in March 
+ * end-April 2012 through early Sept. 2012 
+ * early February 2011 through early Oct. 2011
+ * early April 2010 through end Sept. 2010
+ * mid-April 2009 through end Sept. 2009

+Status:
+ * 04/0/13 selected exposure reprocessing chip->warp for refstack started (late due to power outage and messy system crashes)
+ * 04/05 reftests finished, full refstack started
+ * (04/06) refstack finished, checked and problem skycells found/fixed -- may extend through 4/8 depending if want to work on weekend yet again..
+ * (04/08) staticsky single filter only finished
+ * (04/09) mappings finished, reftest+refstack to distribution, refstack setup, recently missed exposures setup for diffims..
+
+== MD08.V3  Processing (chip->warp + refstack) ==
+
+Exposure reprocessing was done for only a limited number (~150) of the best images from 2010-2012 to provide a balance of N input warps versus best seeing, excluding exposures with large background, low zeropoints and large elongation. 
+
+Processing chip-warp and the refstack itself has the same label, data_group
+ * label: MD08.refstack.20130401 --> ''once set as active refstack for diffims, stack label will change to MD08.refstack'', chip/cam/warp label will remain the same
+ * data_group: MD08.refstack.20130401
+
+
+Newer ipp-20130307 tag used.

+As before, the FWHM_MAJOR with the central skycell can be variable and more so with largely different input sets. Comparison with the psf_major/minor maps are more useful between refstack versions.
+
+
+== Problems  ==
+(need to update)
+ * generally edge skycells have issues, need better containment of those still. (see core coverage below). g,r has additionally ratty edge skycells. 
+ * like others, greater % of inputs rejected (20-30%) so per pixel input is less, but still of order 30 inputs per pixel
+ * some convolved stacks have poorer FWHM PSF but not significant enough to be likely improved by reprocessing using DEEP_STACK config as in earlier MD fields (ie s083r, and a bit s011i, s017g)
+ * as this is a field with a large center offset, the center is more contained in skycell.044 and has the degraded FWHM in gri 
+ * skycell details: 
+  * y: s032,042,052,062,063,083 cell print through problem (from ota14, cell 31); s034 bright junk; s044 center/dither spot; s003,004,040 cell odd/bright chunks on edge
