Aim for 3-5 spectra, each with between 5,000 and 30,000 counts per pixel. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Remarks: M: moon within 10 degrees. Skip if the star is not visible in the acquisition TV M*: moon within 5 degrees. Skip if the star is not visible in the acquisition TV A: target reaches 2 air masses at end of exposure. Do not start late; do the calibration lamp at the end if it helps. C: cataclysmic variable. May be fainter than in finding chart. Skip if not visible. E: may be below the east limit if you get to it early. F: faint target may be hard to see with moon up. H: close to 2 air masses. Skip if running late. R: radial velocity stardard for STSI programs. S: spectrophotometric standard. Observe if you were unable to observe LTT 4364 in this setup. N: Nova. Will be fainter than on finding chart. Y: 5 arcsec SE of brighter star -------------------------------------------------------------------- General Notes: Astronomical ephemerides are from SKYCAL,by John Thorstensen Pri: Target priority. + = absolute highest priority 1 = observe object if possible 2 = extra targets; observe only if no Priority 1 target is available 3 = backup/filler targets; low priority Cmp: 1 means take comparison spectrum only before target exposures; 2 means before and after The T column lists the approximate time in minutes for this line. This includes 5 minutes acquisition plus 1 minute for the comparison. The CDT column is the approximate start time assumed for scheduling purposes. If you fall too far behind, you may need to drop some priority 2 or 3 targets, but otherwise don't pay too much attention to it. As I get experience with scheduling, I will try to make it more accurate. For now I am allotting the nominal overheads, plus 25 minutes for a change in the grating tilt/filter. .............................................................................. Notes about finding charts: RA & Dec: all coordinates are accurate to 1"; charts can be generated by operator as necessary using LEDAS or DSS. Many charts are available via the link from the main 1.5m scheduling page. Charts for most objects should be available at the telescope. Many charts are on-line at http://sbast3.ess.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/findingcharts.html SUNY 04b-01: Finding charts are available at http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/2003B/suny03b-01.tar.gz Chart for V834 Cen: http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/FC/V834_Cen.jpg SUNY 05a-02: Finding charts are available at http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/2003B/suny03b-02.tar.gz Chart for V1118 Ori is at http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/FC/FC_V1118_Ori.jpg Chart for EX Lup is at http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/FC/exlup_fc.ps SUNY 05a-11: Finding chart for DE Cir: http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/FC/decir_fc.ps Finding chart for V475 Sct (Nova Sct 2003): http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/FC/v475sct.jpg Finding chart for V2574 Oph: http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/FC/FC_V2574_Oph.gif Finding chart for YY Dor: http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/FC/yydor.jpg Finding chart for V574 Pup: http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/FC/FC_V574_Pup.jpg SUNY 05a-12: Finding chart for V1647 Ori and associated stars is in http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/FC/v1647ori_fc.jpg ..............................................................................
