			flag=1 if the same intermediate stack detection is linked to two different unique sources. This can happen in images where the seeing was poorer than average or if a source has moved over time and overlaps with another source. flag=2 no intermediate stack detection, but the expected location is in 1 dither offset of the edge of the stack.

frameSetID	[nspid]MergeLog, [nspid]VarFrameSetInfo, [nspid]Variability	WSA NonSurvey	frame set ID, unique over the whole WSA via programme ID prefix, assigned by merging procedure	bigint	8			ID_FIELD
			Each merged source in the merged source tables come from a set of individual passband frames (with different filters and/or different epochs of observation). In the WSA, a frame is generally the image provided by one detector (dither-stacked and interlaced as appropriate); hence a frame set comprises a set of individual detector frames in different passbands and/or at different observation epochs. Each frame set is uniquely identified by the attribute frameSetID, and this references a row in the corresponding merge log for the source table (for example, lasSource.frameSetID references lasMergeLog.frameSetID. The merge log in turn references the full set of image descriptive data held in the tables MultiframeDetector and ultimately Multiframe (these two tables map directly onto the multi-extension FITS file hierarchy of extension FITS headers beneath a single primary HDU FITS header - primary HDU FITS keys will be found in Multiframe, while the corresponding extension FITS keys for each primary set will be found in table MultiframeDetector). In this way, you can trace the provenance of a merged source record right back to the individual image frames from which it is derived.
frameSetID	[nspid]Source	WSA NonSurvey	UID of the set of frames that this merged source comes from	bigint	8			REFER_CODE
