Comparison between the selected Tmag = 16 normalized median absolute deviation value used as an anchor point for our Poisson-like noise cutoff and the number of rejected stars at that noise cutoff. At a normalized median absolute deviation anchor point of 0.0065 the function becomes linear out to brighter median absolute deviation cutoffs (shown in black). Due to significant contamination from nearby bright neighboring stars, the normalized median absolute deviation values of some target stars fall below the expected noise limit. The transition at 0.0065 represents the point where our noise cutoff removes these poorly fit light curves.
