In afternoon or during dinner: - Install 26/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 spectrum at zenith at beginning (or end) of night. Try for 5000-30000 counts/pixel. Main observing programs are the first 4 lists below; observe as many of these as possible. Intermix programs as appropriate, and generally try to observe in order of RA. Get all of the Priority 1 if possible, and then Priority 2+, 2, and 3 if there is time. The objects in SUNY 03a-15 are galaxies. The objects in Yale 03a-08 are also galaxies, but they may look almost stellar. Most of the stars in STSI 03a-03 have large proper motions, so charts may be necessary to find them. A complete set of charts has been posted at http://www.stsci.edu/~bond/valenti_finding_charts.pdf , which you should download and print out (12 MB pdf file). The charts mark where the stars will be in 2003. Some of the stars are binaries, and the remarks give the separations. If both components are listed below, try to obtain separate spectra of each component.

Charts for program SUNY 03b-01, if needed, are at http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/fwalter/SMARTS/SUNY03b-01.tar.gz, or can be generated from any of the usual sky-survey websites. These stars are all variables and might be considerably fainter than indicated. If you try to observe any star and find that it is too faint to center in the slit, then do not observe but make a note that it is faint and send the information to Fred Walter. These stars should all have strong emission lines.

The star is a binary with a separation of 3".8. The slit should be placed on the brighter star. General Notes: Finding charts for YALE 03a-08, STSI 03a-05, SUNY 03a-10 were already left at telescope in February. Charts for STSI 03a-03 are also at the telescope; note that most of the stars in this program have large proper motions, and the charts show the locations that they will have moved to in 2003. Targets for SUNY 03a-15 are galaxies; place slit on nucleus. 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". Cmp: 1 means take comparison spectrum only before target exposures; 2 means before and after ..............................................................................
