We would like to observe some of our primary YSO targets with CLIMB using the telescope configuration E1-E2-W1-W2.
For the POP setup, I propose E1(POP2)-E2(POP3)-W1(POP1)-W2(POP5).
For the POP setup, I propose E1(POP1)-E2(POP3)-W1(POP1)-W2(POP5). 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.

Observing Strategy 2011 Jun 11-18:
We would like to observe some of our primary YSO targets with CLIMB using the telescope configuration E1-E2-W1-W2. For the POP setup, I propose E1(POP1)-E2(POP3)-W1(POP1)-W2(POP5). 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.2011Jun.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).
