We will perform a flux limited transient survey based on the MSIP all sky survey. The standard in this field is set by ASAS-SN (T. Holoien, PhD? thesis; OSU; several papers by T. Holoien) which is, contrary to the claims, complete to less than 17 mag. The experimental goal of the proposed ZTF project is to classify transients (which are mostly SN) to a peak flux, m_p of about 18 mag. In practice, this means classifying transients which are a few tenths mag fainter (18.5). Flux limited surveys serve many purposes such as computing rates. We have a specific novel goal: use SN of type Ia to evaluate the red-shift completeness factor (RCF) of catalog(s) of nearby (<200 Mpc).
