dc.description.abstractAssessing a fluctuation in the sky density of astronomical objects uses counting (i.e., Poisson) statistics for estimating the errors. For a finite sample, there is a limit to the maximum possible fluctuation from the mean in units of the rms. This maximum is derived, and an example is used to illustrate these concepts.en
