Table 2: Average number of images and nights per band for each SNLS light-curve. Note that there is less data in $g_{\rm M}$ and $z_{\rm M}$. The $\chi ^2_n$ column refers to the last fit that imposes equal fluxes on a given night. The expected value is 1.25 (due to pixel correlations), so we face a moderate scatter excess of about 12% over photon statistics. The larger values in $i_{\rm M}$ and $z_{\rm M}$ indicate that fringes play a role in this excess. The last column displays the average wavelength of the effective filters in Å.
