Imaging: Zeropoints
|
|
Nominal zeropoints for a 5 arcsecond aperture at an airmass of 1.0 are given below.
A larger field stop was installed in February 2003 leading to
less vignetting at L' and M', and larger zeropoints. Note
that the zeropoint is a function of airmass, can vary from night to night,
and will be smaller than these values if the seeing is very poor.
