NURO-1.04m Observing Run: 26 - 30 May 2024 UT

Observing Strategy

May 2024 Sky Calendar for NURO
Read the Engineering Test Data for the Camera for details. Remember, all the engineering data was shot binned 2X2.
Brian's exposure guide is his work and for binned 3X3 (from what I can tell).
All of the exposures in our target lists are for HDI or S2KB and need to be adjusted!
Field of View of the e2v chip is 25 arc-min. The target lists (not the standards) have been updated for that.
The unvignetted FOV is 22 arc-min, so beware the corners and edges.
Priorities:
- Blank sky i & z frames for fringing
- BD+17:4708
- CalSpec Stars xxxxxx,
- APSU Exo-Planet fields
- 4-amp mode test - photometric, use known cluster or stripe 82 field
- Dolidze-35 - Photometric -ugriz filters
- Dolidze-35 - Photometric -Washington filters
- Washington standards - test the ri filters - PHOTOMETRIC
- Washington filters - EXISTING CLUSTERS FOR COMPARISON - PHOTOMETRIC
- Washington filters - expand standards - PHOTOMETRIC
- ugriz filters - new standards - especially Kepler and M31/M33 fields
- CV monitor - 4-6+ hours
- Pretty Pictures - big targets
- TNOs
