Hi colleagues,
What is the practical saturation limit of SuperWASP data?
Best regards,

There isn't an exact value of saturation limit. Usually it can be seen as a trend that repeat on each day. Targets fainter than 10.5 mag are fine, but the brighter star, the higher chance of saturation will be. Sometimes the data are useful even for low amplitude 9 mag targets.
