All-image limiting magnitude estimate:  15.2 (SNR )  12.0 (80% of stars)  with default.sex.telephoto_lens_onlybrightstars_v1
The first estimate is the magnitude of a star detected with a signal-to-noise ratio of  following Karpov (2025, Acta Polytechnica, 65, 50). 
This value should be representative of the faintest stars clearly visible in the image. 
The brighter of the limiting magnitude estimates for the two second-epoch images is reported here.
The second estimate is the 80th percentile of the magnitude distribution of stars detected on all four images.
This value is representative of the faintest object that may enter the candidate transients list.
The hard cut-off for the candidate transients is 15.5 mag.

SIP_REFIT: refit does not sufficiently improve on the solution it would replace (best worst-region baseline 23.798 arcsec) - keeping the original
SIP_REFIT: the solution being kept is bad (worst region 23.798 arcsec, more than 1.0 pixel) while the order-5 trial fits the frame as a whole to 0.492 arcsec - the catalog pairs in the bad region are probably wrong rather than the model; attempting a rescue: provisional refit, catalog re-match, second refit

SIP_REFIT: re-match found 1745 pairs (1979 from the previous matching)

SIP_REFIT: refit does not sufficiently improve on the solution it would replace (best worst-region baseline 23.708 arcsec) - keeping the original
SIP_REFIT: the solution being kept is bad (worst region 23.708 arcsec, more than 1.0 pixel) while the order-5 trial fits the frame as a whole to 0.379 arcsec - the catalog pairs in the bad region are probably wrong rather than the model; attempting a rescue: provisional refit, catalog re-match, second refit

Matched 1866 stars with the local copy of UCAC5.
The local UCAC5 search seems to be a success
SIP_REFIT: re-match found 1866 pairs (1990 from the previous matching)
SIP_REFIT: the 1866 catalog matches do not cover the frame (974/3/887/2 per quadrant, need 116 in each) - keeping the original solution

SIP_REFIT: rescue pairs per quadrant (q1/q2/q3/q4): initial matching 867/130/824/169, final 974/3/887/2
SIP_REFIT: the rescued solution is not measured over the whole frame (pairs per quadrant 974/3/887/2, the initial matching had 867/130/824/169; a quadrant with less than 70% of its pairs left is unmeasured) - treating the rescue as failed
SIP_REFIT: the rescue did not beat the solution it replaced (worst region 0.527 vs 23.708 arcsec) - restoring the original solution and catalog pairs

All-image limiting magnitude estimate:  15.3 (SNR )  14.5 (80% of stars)  with default.sex.telephoto_lens_vSTL
The first estimate is the magnitude of a star detected with a signal-to-noise ratio of  following Karpov (2025, Acta Polytechnica, 65, 50). 
This value should be representative of the faintest stars clearly visible in the image. 
The brighter of the limiting magnitude estimates for the two second-epoch images is reported here.
The second estimate is the 80th percentile of the magnitude distribution of stars detected on all four images.
This value is representative of the faintest object that may enter the candidate transients list.
The hard cut-off for the candidate transients is 15.5 mag.
