NOTES FOR TARGET FIELDS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The observation is basically time-series photometry of HD 259440 --
   back-to-back 30 second exposures of the star throughout both nights.

2. To ensure that a suitable comparison star is included in the exposures,
   please point the telescope approx. 3 arcminutes south of HD 259440
   (in the OBSERVING SEQUENCE below, I give coordinates for both 
   HD259440 and the telescope aimpoint. The finder chart has this
   offset taken into account.)

3. The exposure time is estimated based on previous observations using
   the 0.9m. If frames start appearing saturated, please try to adjust
   the exposure time accordingly.

4. Please take 5 bias frames and 5 sky flats at the start of the night

5. Use full chip mode, and one amplifier readout.

6. Please make sure all frames have full headers, since I've had
   problems before with SMARTS data with missing header info. Thanks!

NOTES FOR CALIBRATION FIELDS

No calibration fields reqd. (I'm using nearby stars for differential
photometry)
