    253253The electronics noise is largely white, uncorrelated in time. The noise from the night sky background photons is the superposition of the detector response to single photo electrons arriving randomly distributed in time. Figure \ref{fig:noise_autocorr_AB_36038_TDAS} shows the noise autocorrelation matrix for an open camera. The large noise autocorrelation in time of the current FADC system is due to the pulse shaping with a shaping constant of 6 ns.

    255 In general the amplitude and timing weights, $\boldsymbol{w}_{\text{amp}}$ and $\boldsymbol{w}_{\text{time}}$, depend on the pulse shape, the derivative of the pulse shape and the noise autocorrelation. In the high gain samples the correlated night sky background noise dominates over the white electronics noise. Thus different noise levels just cause the noise autocorrelation matrix $\boldsymbol{B}$ to change by a factor, which cancells out in the weights calculation. Thus in the high gain the weights are to a very good approximation independent of the night sky background noise level.
