    37 The plot below shows the number of detections per skycell (log scale) for the region 267 < RA < 303. The data for 10 < DEC < 20 is still processing

    4040== False Detections from y band stacks ==
    41 We have noticed that some skycells are getting large numbers of matched detections. These are caused by false detections in the y band.

     42We have noticed that some skycells are getting large numbers of matched (forced photometry) detections.
     43These are caused by false detections in the y band. Recall that forced photometry is performed for all y band sources
     44that are not matched with a detection in another band while detections for the other filters must match 2 other bands
     45before forced photometry is done.

    4247If we plot the ratio of the number of matched detections to the number of detected sources for each band we can see these outliers.
    4348The following plots shows the ratio for the r band versus that in the ratio in i band for each stack. The plot on the left shows the full range

    5156We propose re-running psphotStack for these skycells changing the rule that matched detections are created for all unmatched y band
    52 detections if some criteria is met. We can get rid of most of worst of the outliers with the cut
     57detections if some criteria is met. We can get rid of the worst of the outliers with the cut. This effect is seen in 3% of the skycells
