Integrated relative flux change (Δf/f) vs. high‐S/N epoch S/N for quasars (left) and stars (right) on all 53 plates with more than 50 days of time lag between observations. The overlaid lines show 2.5 times the 68.3% confidence interval of Δf/f for given values of S/N for all stars. The 364 quasars marked with plus signs are selected to be candidates for the variable quasar sample.
