... Standard magnitudes can only be computed for the U, B and V filters and hence the only standard colours that can be calculated are U-B, B-V and U-V. An important point to note, is that these standard colours can be computed using the following instrumental colours - U-B, B-V, U-V, (UVW1-U), (UVW1-B), (UVW1-V), (UVW2-B) and (UVW2-V). ... The program loops through these colours and if the relevant instrumental magnitudes are present computes the standard magnitudes and standard colour. ...

... At the operating temperature of -88 C, maintained after April 23, 1994, the WFPC2 CCDs have a low dark background, ranging between 0.002 and 0.01 e - /s/pixel. A relatively small number of pixels have dark currents many times the value. ... The combined file is obtained by using the superdark value for all pixels that appear normal in the weekly dark, namely, for which the dark current value in the weekly dark does not differ from the superdark value by more than 3 . ...
