Summary of Test Results
There are several situations where your field may be expected to fail these checks; further information on these may be found here. There are also cases where your field will pass the safety checks given here but your observing data may be compromised.
Records in table with at least one 'FAIL' are highlighted in pink.

The bright star test determines which nearby stars are bright enough to threaten the detectors, even if the stars are outside the GALEX field of view. The table gives each star's location and separation from the field center, and estimates the brightness (in counts) in each GALEX band.

Total Field Brightness Table
The total field brightness test estimates the total brightness (in counts) expected in a 1.2° GALEX field centered at the position you give. The estimated total flux includes the total contribution from bright stars (details) as well as the background expected from diffuse galactic emission (details) and assumed to come from zodiacal light (details).

Overcountrate Position Table
The overcountrate position test compares the position that you give with a list of archival observations that have caused a detector overcountrate shutdown. In most cases, the cause of the shutdown is a nearby bright object unknown to the catalogs that are used as part of the bright star test in the mission planning system. You may be able to make observations near this position by slightly adjusting the position of your field so that it exceeds the offset limit set for the overcountrate position.
