Don't forget to copy the leading white spaces and change the observatory code! The code 'C32' is 'Ka-Dar Observatory, TAU Station, Nizhny Arkhyz', the code '500' is the geocenter.

All-image limiting magnitude estimate:  13.9 (SNR )  10.9 (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.

Accuracy estimation diagnostic: 2342 matched stars entering correct_measured_positions(), 3133 with non-zero local correction accuracy
Estimated accuracy of the plate solution: 0.50" 
SIP_REFIT: the refit moved 521 of 3640 stars by more than 1.07 arcsec (at most 7.10 arcsec) - the pairs no longer describe the solution, matching the catalog again
SIP_REFIT: re-matching the catalog with the refit solution (cycle 2, search radius 3.0 arcsec, 2342 pairs from the previous matching)
UCAC5 search strategy: trying local copy first
Found a local copy of UCAC5

All-image limiting magnitude estimate:  14.1 (SNR )  13.3 (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.
