OmegaCAM Exposure time calculator


There is not yet an accurate ETC for OmegaCAM as all components have not been characterized yet.
However, there is an excellent ETC maintained by ESO for the WFI at the 2.2m which can be used for OmegaCAM rough evaluations, when you apply the higher sensitivity of OmegaCAM by making your object brighter using the following table:
u' band 1.03mag
B band 0.42mag
V band 0.11mag
r' band 0.14mag
i' band 0.29mag
Note, these numbers are very preliminary educated guesses.
