We probably need a dedicated pipeline to process galactic fields. As things stand, we are generating >250k alerts for a single night with a few galactic exposures (as much as 10k per field, >20 times the extragalactic alert rate), so are not able to keep up with data.

We need to rework the pipeline to handle this.

Possible options (not mutually exclusive):

  • rb cut (need reliable rb first though)
  • Stricter scorr cuts
  • Somehow removing stars before alert generation
  • Restructure the pipeline to have iterative cuts before e.g naming/history

Fixing non-linearity / using flats should help to some extent, but not clear how much.

In the interim, we should stop generating alerts from the galactic plane.
