General Description

• The goal of this run is to determine the accurate orbital period of a
   cataclysmic binary, V1040 Cen.  We use radial velocity curves of H_beta and other
   Balmer lines.  The orbital period is roughly estimated to be 1.5 hours.  We prepare
   5 OBs for this goal (V1040CenBLMD).  Each OB has same configurations of equipment
   and covers ~53% of an orbital cycle.  We don't require continuous runs for these
   5 OBs.  In order to accurately determine the orbital period, a longer baseline of
   the observations is more preferable.  We prefer to perform these 5 OBs for several
   months rather than continuous 2-3 nights.  The other 2 OBs are for low-resolution
   spectroscopy; one is for the target (V1040CenREMD) and the other is for its spectrophotometric
   standard star (CAL_LTT4816REMD).  These 2 OBs should, hence, be taken at the same
   night.
