Observing Strategy 2011 Dec 1-8:
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).
