Observational settings/limits
ComaCluster-Center, ComaCluster-OFF1, ComaCluster-OFF2 Min Zenith [deg] = 0
Max Zenith [deg] = 50
Night Sky Background = Both
Wobbles = ON
Observational strategy
The strategy, each observing night (80 consecutive minutes [^1]), is as follow:
- OFF-2 region for 20 minutes (1 run), during which the relative movement of the sky is 5 deg (AZ1, ZD1 → AZ2, ZD2)
- ON region for 20+20 minutes (2 runs), during which the relative sky movement is 10 deg (AZ1, ZD1 → AZ2, ZD2 → AZ3, ZD3).
- OFF-1 region for 20 minutes (1 run, AZ2, ZD2 → AZ3, ZD3).
The OFF at lower RA should come first (OFF-2)
[^1] take the data ideally with no interruptions and with similar NSB if possible, so that the AZ, ZD conditions in the OFF and ON match as intended. If for some reason there is some hardware problem and the 80 minutes need to get significantly reduced, alternative schedules for 60 minute, 40 minute & 30 minutes are listed below:
- Option A (60 minute): Do OFF-2, ON, ON, OFF-1 as usual, but with 15' wobbles. This will slightly alter the ZD, AZ conditions, but not by too much.
- Option B (40 minutes): 1 run in OFF-2 + 1 run on ON
- Option C (40 minutes): 1 run in ON + 1 run in OFF-1.
- Option D (30 minute): do either option B or C, but with 15' runs.
If less than 30 minute are available, skip to the next source.
Instructions for shifters
Observations in ON mode. If at some point RTA works with ON-OFF observations, please report any hotspot in the skymaps.
