We are grateful to the DES team for building DECam and the NVO at NOAO for flattening and stacking our data. Parts of this research were conducted by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for All-sky Astrophysics (CAASTRO), through project number CE110001020. In addition to DAOPHOT, we used IRAF, a product of NOAO, which is operated by AURA and supported by NSF. Thanks also to our colleagues StuartWyithe, Chris Lidman, Michele Trenti, Robert Barone Nugent, and Andrea Kunder.The DECamERON project used data obtained with the Dark Energy Camera, which was constructed by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) collaboration.
