Download a bunch of HSC images (there may be an API for this), and measure the background noise levels in each wavelength, being sure to separate the wide from the deep from the ultra-deep portions of the survey. I usually use the sigma_clipped and mad_std statistics in astropy for this. Put in a table along with the info on filter and exposure time.
We are mostly interested in the co-adds.

Look at the trends in noise level vs. band for each exposure depth.

This is important if we are going to make more postage stamps. It's not particularly important if we are just going to jump to inserting the images into the real HSC images.
