CCD: FULL 13'x13'armin READOUT: QUAD GAIN INDEX: 1: Read Noise ~ 1.5 ADU = 5.5 e- FILTER SET: ugriz ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES FOR TARGET FIELDS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Make sure that the focus is good. 2. Check to make sure that the coordinates are correct. 3. Check finder chart to confirm field for NGC 545 only. 4. For standard-star fields simply point the telescope to the given coordinates. Jog the position slightly so that the star sits 10'' or more away from the center of the CCD. 5. Take the exposures. Do not worry about saturated stars in the long integrations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES FOR CALIBRATION FIELDS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. THE ENTIRE OBSERVING SEQUENCE BELOW IS TO BE EXECUTED TWICE, ON TWO DIFFERENT NIGHTS. 2. Take at least 9 bias exposures 3. Take dome flat exposures in the recommended exposure times for griz filters 4. For each standard star, offset the coordinates by 2' W, 2' N so that the star is not trapped on the boundary between quadrants. 5. Repeat each standard-star field as many times as you can. Observe them at different airmasses between 1.0 and 1.6. Try to cover the range of airmass evenly from 1.0 to 1.6. 6. Do not observe any field with an airmass that is much larger than 1.6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OBSERVING SEQUENCE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TARGET G158-100 PRIORITY 1 COORDINATES 00 33 54.6 -12 07 58.9 FINDER CHART (standard star) AIRMASS < 1.6 (+-0.1) FILTER(S) g,r,i,z INTEGRATION(S) 30s, 30s, 30s, 30s TOTAL TIME 2 minutes NOTES require photometric conditions TARGET SA92-263 PRIORITY 1 COORDINATES 00 55 39.41 +00 36 20.0 FINDER CHART (standard star) AIRMASS < 1.6 (+-0.1) FILTER(S) g,r,i,z INTEGRATION(S) 10s, 10s, 10s, 10s TOTAL TIME 2 minutes NOTES require photometric conditions TARGET SA95-190 PRIORITY 1 COORDINATES 03 53 13.24 +00 16 22.8 FINDER CHART (standard star) AIRMASS < 1.6 (+-0.1) FILTER(S) g,r,i,z INTEGRATION(S) 20s, 20s, 20s, 20s TOTAL TIME 2 minutes NOTES require photometric conditions TARGET NGC 1399 PRIORITY 1 COORDINATES 03 38 29.1 -35 27 03.0 FINDER CHART http://physwww.mcmaster.ca/%7Eharris/Other.html AIRMASS minimum available -or- less than 1.5 FILTER(S) (g,g,g), (r,r,r), (i,i,i), (z,z,z,z,z), (i,i,i), (r,r,r), (g,g,g) INTEGRATION(S) 3x600s, 3x300s, 3x300s, 5x600s, 3x300s, 3x300s, 3x600s TOTAL TIME 150 minutes NOTES photometric conditions needed.
