Since ATLAS images cover wide area with single amplifier, pending good flatfielding we might look for satellite dwarfs.

Possible stacking centers:
| Object | RA | DEC | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC | 05:23:34 | -69:45:22 | make 20 x 20 deg stack here after southern data pile up |
| Eridanus IV | 76.438 | -9.515 | make 1 deg x 1 deg stack centered on Eridanus IV, found with DECam. See https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.09080. 28.3 mag/sq arc sec |
| Bootes III | 209.3 | 26.8 | found by PS-1, 30 arcmin in size so 1 deg x 1 deg stack would be good. |
