Changed Orient and POS TARG on visits 13 & 14 in search of guide stars.
Deleted target 7 (V603-REF2) from visits, didn't fit in pickle, and is likely to be a
binary (so no good anyway).

Trigonometric Calibration of the Distance Scale for Classical Novae
The distance scale for classical novae is important for understanding the stellar physics of their thermonuclear runaways, their contribution to Galactic nucleosynthesis, and their use as extragalactic standard candles. Although it is known that there is a relationship between their absolute magnitudes at maximum light and their subsequent rates of decline--the well-known maximum-magnitude rate-of-decline (MMRD) relation--it is difficult to set the zero-point for the MMRD because of the very uncertain distances of Galactic novae.
We propose to measure precise trigonometric parallaxes for the quiescent remnants of the four nearest classical novae. We will use the Fine Guidance Sensors, which are proven to be capable of measuring parallaxes with errors of ~0.2 mas, well below what is possible from the ground.
The target stars and thier associated reference stars will be observed at 2 epochs in Cycle 15. Each epoch will be comprised of two single-orbit HST visits. In each visit, the target and field stars will be observed multiple times in a sequential fashion by FGS1r in Position mode with the F583W filter for stars with V>8, or the F5ND attenuator for stars with V<8. Exposure times will be on the order of 10 second for each exposure.
