Plots of coadd sigma and background sigma versus each other and date

These plots are for all processed coadds that have magnitude thresholds for unconfused areas, which are 15.50, 14.75 and 14.25 mag for J, H and K, respectively. The pink line represents "coadd noise = background sigma" in the plots on the right.
