To save me from actually having to read the paper, I
presume that "this phenomenon" is variability at the
levels they can detect? (0.002 mag, single exposure)

Can one translate this to what we could expect at the
precision we are already getting with the Mk IV?
(not much better than 0.01 mag)

... does this mean that those high Welsh-Stetson
statistics I got are real? I put most of them down to
unknown systematic error. Wow! I must go back and
count them.
