'''Observing Strategy 2011 Dec 2-7:''' 
We would like to observe AB Aurigae (V=7.1, H=5.1) using MIRC-6T. The target is very high priority, so we should record data even if we have only some of the baselines or low SNR. Beyond 100m, the fringe contrast will likely be quite low (<0.2, see Tannirkulam et al. 2008). I propose the following setup, which would require POP changes around LST 03:43 and LST 06:39 (times computed with ASPRO2 for 2011/12/02). The time of dust and dawn are approximately LST 23:00 and 11:00:

=== POPs S1-S2-W1-W2-E1-E2 = 2-3-1-5-5-5: 
S1-S2-W1-W2-E1-E2: LST 23:35-03:43 

change POPs W1, E1, E2 (this will give another 2.5-hours of 6T-time; if the POP changes produce too much overhead, then you can also switch directly to the final POP-setup for the night which gives 5T coverage already starting at LST 02:07):

=== POPs S1-S2-W1-W2-E1-E2 = 2-3-3-5-1-3: 
S1-S2-W1-W2-E1-E2: LST 03:48-06:17 (zenith transit between 04:41-05:13) 
S1-S2-W1-W2-E2: LST 03:48-06:39

change POP S1, S2, W1, W2:

=== POPs S1-S2-W1-W2-E1-E2 = 1-2-5-5-1-2: 
S1-S2-W2-E1-E2: LST 02:07-06:17 (zenith transit between 04:41-05:13) 
S1-S2-W1-E1-E2: LST 05:42-08:00 
S1-S2-E2-W1: LST 05:43-09:35 
S1-S2-E1-E2: LST 01:48-10:08 (zenith transit between 04:41-05:13)

In case of poor conditions (or if it gets clear that AB Aurigae is absolutely not feasible with MIRC), we plan to switch to CLIMB to observe AB Aur and various others YSOs. For this case, I have listed different sequences below. We can access primary targets during any time of the night with any subtriplet (see possible observing sequence and triplet priorities below). In order observe the faint objects (V=10..12), we should try turning up the gain on the telescopes. Another trick is to acquire a bright, nearby star and to switch then to the target star.

Possible observing sequence for three configuations: [[Media:ObsPlan.2011Dec.txt]] 
For the priority of the different triplets, I would suggest E1-W1-W2 (priority 1), E1-E2-W2 (priority 2), and E2-W1-W2 (priority 3).

We would like to observe AB Aurigae using MIRC-6T. For the POP setup, I propose E1(POP1)-E2(POP3)-W1(POP1)-W2(POP5).

In case of poor conditions or, if it is clear that AB Aurigae is not feasible with MIRC, we plan to switch to CLIMB an to observe AB Aurigae and some other fainter YSOs. In this case, I propose E1(POP?)-E2(POP?)-W1(POP?)-W2(POP?)-S1(POP?)-S2(POP?). With this setup, we can access primary targets during any time of the night with any subtriplet (see possible observing sequence and triplet priorities below).

MIRC Observing Run 2010Dec

98.250.105.139:

'''Observing Strategy 2011 Dec 2-7:''' 
We would like to observe AB Aurigae using MIRC-6T. For the POP setup, I propose E1(POP1)-E2(POP3)-W1(POP1)-W2(POP5).

In case of poor conditions or, if it is clear that AB Aurigae is not feasible with MIRC, we plan to switch to CLIMB an to observe AB Aurigae and some other fainter YSOs. In this case, I propose E1(POP?)-E2(POP?)-W1(POP?)-W2(POP?)-S1(POP?)-S2(POP?). With this setup, we can access primary targets during any time of the night with any subtriplet (see possible observing sequence and triplet priorities below). In order observe the faint objects (V=10..12), we should try turning up the gain on the telescopes. Another trick is to acquire a bright, nearby star and to switch then to the target star.

Possible observing sequence for three configuations: [[Media:ObsPlan.2011Dec.txt]] 
For the priority of the different triplets, I would suggest E1-W1-W2 (priority 1), E1-E2-W2 (priority 2), and E2-W1-W2 (priority 3).
