Aim: sampling complete FOV with photometric calibrators
OmegaCAM FOV
•Accurate photometric calibration ( per chip)•Quantifying sky concentration effects

Photometric accuracies
• Instrumental requirement: 5% accuracy in photometry with usual data reduction
• Our estimate: with Astro-Wise infrastructure 2-3% achievable with bit extra work on top usual data reduction

All-year round monitoring field near South Equatorial Pole
Candidate field:(ra,dec)=(51.429,89.04)deg (l,b)=(302.29 -27.82)deg
Purpose: monitor instrument performance and atmospheric conditions through night

Standard star catalog in Astro-Wise
• 8 equatorial fields• Final catalog will be produced from
OmegaCAM observations of fields in first year.
• Currently a preliminary version in place – to be used during commissioning.– derived from WFC/INT La Palma data – WFC data was calibrated using Landolt
standards (transformed to Sloan system)

The standard star fields

The content of a fieldField SA92
● = Landolt stars published data (transformed to ugriz)
+ = Sloan published data●= “AW2S”, our secondary standards obtained from WFC/INT La Palma data

Deriving a Zeropoint
•Reduce standard starfield
•Associate stars with entries in•standard star catalog.
•Sigma clip to discard outliers
•Estimate zeropoint for each remaining star
•Zeropoint= weighted mean of estimates

Work in progress
• Good determination random and systematic errors of standard star– magnitude in the catalog– measured flux
• Propagation of these errors to ZPT
