Data from Store 4812 (July 5-6, 2006) are fit to good luminosity decay models for the "beginning" of the store, that is, for 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours into this (28 hour) store. Conclusion: 1 point every 2048 seconds (34 minutes) is okay; you need about 12 hours of data to predict acruately the luminosity at the end of this store.
