There are 10 atlas images per file. The first 5 are u,g,r,i,z, for the best reduction. The second 5 are u,g,r,i,z for the target reduction. If the atlas image cannot be read for any reason, a dummy image of size 0,0 is placed into the fits file. If the object has run 0, as can happen for hot standars for example, the fits file may be empty.
