Step1 --------------------------------------------------------
Prepare a target-list file.
Each line should be in the form -
[Name] [Equinox] [RAh] [RAm] [RAs] [Decd] [Decm] [Decs] [Comments]
(Any) (I) (I) (I) (F) (I) (I) (F) (Any)
(I) should be integer
(F) should be float WITH DECIMAL POINT
Example:
GCQ17 2000 17 46 03.1 -28 49 35.0 GC Quint & Obj17 Field
GCSgrA 2000 17 45 40.0 -29 00 28.0 GC SgrA
GC_sky 2000 17 40 00.0 -29 00 00.0 May be GCsky??
Suppose this file is stored as "~observe/objlist/mylist.dat".
The Persson standard stars (1998, AJ, 116, 2475) are stored in
"~observe/objlist/persson98tab2.dat".
Step2 --------------------------------------------------------
Write a "command queue" file with pointing and integrating
commands.
Three typical commands are -
point2 [FileName] [ObjectName]
offset [RA in arcsec] [Dec in arcsec]
DL [Mode] [ExpTime] [Name in Header] [DitherNumber] [DitherRadiusArcsec]
For sky frame, [Name in Header] should contain "sky" at the end.
For std star, [Name in Header] should contain "std" at the end, and
[DitherNumber] should be 1 and should have no [DitherRadiusArcsec].
Example:
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GCQ17
DL 6 30 GCQ17_1 10 20
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GC_sky
DL 6 30 GCQ17_1sky 10 60
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GCQ17
DL 6 30 GCQ17_2 10 20
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GCQ17
DL 6 30 GCQ17_3 10 20
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GC_sky
DL 6 30 GCQ17_2sky 10 60
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GCQ17
offset 0 +400
DL 6 30 GCQ17N_1 10 20
point2 ~observe/objlist/persson98tab2.dat p9129
DL 6 5 p9129_1std 1
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GCQ17
offset 0 +400
DL 6 30 GCQ17N_2 10 20
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GC_sky
DL 6 30 GCQ17_3sky 10 60
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GCQ17
offset 0 +400
DL 6 30 GCQ17N_3 10 20
point2 ~observe/objlist/mylist.dat GCQ17
offset +400 0
DL 6 30 GCQ17E_1 10 20
Step3 --------------------------------------------------------
Email the two file contents in plain text to the observer.
Mail Japanese Sake (or 6-pack South African Castle) to the observer. (Mandatory.)
