Observational settings/limits[edit]

If you're reading this it's likely because a ToO has been called for SDSSJ1430+2303, also known as "Tick-Tock". This is a big deal! Stay calm, and just take data as you normally would.

This is a transient source for which every second of data counts and time is of the essence. So please be on time, note down as much information as you can in the ELOG to help out with analysis, and try to keep the timestamps in line with when things actually happened. Updates on weather, any little problems with the telescope/software that could have interfered with datataking could all be useful.

You may email or call the PI at any time of day/night with questions if this ToO has been activated.
