NOTE: the measured brightness disagrees with the variable-star record above, but is consistent with the asteroid identification below - so this is likely the asteroid rather than an outburst of the variable.

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.

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.
