    88the difference was so great. In particular the validity of the [http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/attachment/wiki/fullforce_SAStest1/ddevrad_hist_comparison.jpg plot]

    11 It turns out that this scepticism was justified. The ddevrad values for the stack photometry were incorrect (the difference in units between the sdss value (arcseconds) and the IPP values (pixels) was not accounted for. Upon further review we discovered that the wrong stacks (label SAS.20130620) were used for that investigation rather than the SAS 32 stacks (label SAS.20130703).

    1313In order to examine the dev model results in more detail we re-ran the full force pipeline on a subset of the SAS skycells. To improve statistics we changed
