Abstract for MTS:
Runs 0269(A) and (B) are closely linked. Please read both readme
files before starting to execute any OBs. The observations are not
"time-critical" as such, but they are all linked to each other.
(1) First thing to note is the strong statement in the README that
it is important that the moon is below the horizon during all
observations. Each observation comes in a sequence of one LSS OB
(1 hour 40 min) and one imaging OB of the same field (20 minutes).
I recommend to start with the LSS, and end with the IMG. Only start the
sequence if the moon will stay below the horizon for the full 2 hours.
If the conditions degrade after the first hour, the full sequence
should be completed. Note that the PI mentions "photometric"
observations, but this is to be understood as "imaging in CLR".
(2) Second issue is the linking of sequences. Originally the PI
requested (ideally still the wish) sequences to be executed one each
night during the 5 nights around a given new moon, and then the last 5
sequences on the 5 nights around the following new moon. This has now
been relaxed somewhat as detailed in the README. Given that this is in
the B queue, and requests 0.8 arcsec while the moon is below horizon
for 2 hours, it may not be possible to also accommodate the ideal
timing links, so i think that the PI will be quite happy with slips
in the timing, as long as the observing conditions are met.
I hope this is clear, if not then open a ticket. Best of luck with it.
