I'm working with some data and I have some values named fluxmag0fluxmag0 and fluxmag0errfluxmag0err that should correspond to the zero point values and error in flux units.

The values are around 10**13$10^{13}$ for fluxmag0fluxmag0 and 10^9$10^9$ for fluxmag0errfluxmag0err

I need to have the zero point error in magnitude units. If I take 2.5log10(fluxmag0err)$2.5\log_{10}(\mathrm{fluxmag0err})$ the values are hudgehuge so I suppose it's not the way to compute this.

How can I convert these values in terms of magnitudes  ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help
