In afternoon or during dinner: - Install 47/I grating setup - obtain at least 10 Zero frames - obtain at least 5, preferably 10, flat-field frames (projector or dome) Get well-exposed TWILIGHT SPECTRA at zenith at beginning of night. Aim for 3 spectra, each with between 5,000 and 30,000 counts per pixel.

If it is possible, we would like to get a spectrum in the morning, but it will be very close to the 4m building. In order to observe it, you will have to wait until the star is clear of the 4m building, at which point the twilight will probably be rather bright. So, see if you can make this observation. If not, no problem, but we will be very excited if you can get any spectra! I have suggested 3 x 300 sec, but probably there will not be enough time to get all 3 before the twilight is too bright. The target is visible in the digitized sky survey, but now it is about 2-3 mag brighter.

General Notes: Pri: Target priority. 1 = observe object if possible 2 = extra targets; observe only if no Priority 1 target is available 3 = backup targets; low priority RA & Dec: all coordinates are accurate to 1"; charts can be generated by operator as necessary using LEDAS or DSS. Charts for many objects were prepared at telescope in February and should be available. Cmp: 1 means take comparison spectrum only before target exposures; 2 means before and after ..............................................................................
