PSF width (FWHM arcsec) statistics for column 6, filter r:
Mean PSF width = 0.45
Median = 0.45, min = 0.45, max = 0.45
There are 0 fields ( 0.0%) with PSFwidth > 4.0 arcsec
This run is 437 fields long.

The noise is estimated from the width of the sky histogram, corrected
for the dark variance, and normalized by the Poisson value:
norm. spurious noise = sqrt[gain*(sigma_sky^2-dark_var)/sky]
Values significantly larger than 1 indicate the presence of spurious noise.

Spurious Noise plot
Note that bright stars cause single-field spikes which are, for
different bands, aligned in the field number. A temporal increase
in noise can be traced in the r-i-u-z-g order (2 fields shift).
