EEV7

On 31/1/2002 we have done wide-slit observations with camera 2 of flux-standard star HD93521. These on-blaze results are for AirMass=1, and do not include slit losses. Exposure times for a U=B=V=R=I=8 star in typical observing conditions reaching S/N=100 per pixel at the blaze in the extracted unbinned spectrum are given as well (for the case of no slit losses).

AB magnitude: the magnitude of a star giving 1 e-/Å/s.
Efficiency: ratio of detected and emitted stellar flux (with flux in energy/s/Hz/area).
