Priorities for the nights is Full science using LRS2 or VIRUS.

In one case we would like to use Parallel scripts to take science frames.

== Twilight ==

Take LRS2 cals and specialtwilight VIRUS cals at the start of the night

*  Setup on Capella on DIMM even at the start of the night during stacking.

== Setups ==

* I have been placing the shuffle setups in /home/mcs/astronomer/17-1/

* Be sure to use shuffle_config_matt4 to setup files for do_shuffle

* I have been using lrs2g to find guide stars to move from LRS2B/R to LRS2R/B

== Priority Targets ==

Get a quickly tightened stack so that you can get 

*  Index 897/898   M17-1-001  Holm15A  with good guide star by {{{home7}}} {{{mpg -cp}}} and GC2 at 00:42:27.032 -09:16:52.84 .  On ACAM use unmarked brightest star in field at 479, 617 for setup for LRS2-B.

Complete the stack and then

'''During Dark time'''

*  Observe two UT17-1-015 targets per track, ie. start at the beginning of the track

'''With any moon'''

*  Observe one of the UT17-1-011 targets, preferably the one with the lowest Pri, e.g. 1 before 1.1 and 1.1 before 1.3
*  For UT17-1-011 please use parallel script:  {{{$HET_SRC_ROOT/integration/parallel-exposure.py -p lrs2 -t sci -i 1100 -N SHELA_v095b_z4_0261465 -n parallel -O 6 -E 1 -o 7 -e 1}}}    use -E 2 -e 2 for 2nd exposure and -E 3 -e 3 for the third exposure.
*  Please save a 30 second setup image with ACAM to help ID the field.

General suggestions:

*  Disable PSU17-1-002 in htopx.  These are very short targets probably only to be done as filler as you wait for something else to start.

*  Disable PSU17-1-005 in htopx.  There are lots of these but they are long.   Only start observing them in a hole in the queue.

== Notes on Calibrations and Standards ==

*  Only need Telluric standards on LRS2-R, not for LRS2-B

*  For Telluric LRS2-B standards be sure to select the faintest possible star but avoid emission line stars.   Note:  We should probably weed this list to remove all emission line stars and any that have companions in the BSC within 10".

*  I have been breaking the long set of cals into different parts to fit them in during stacking.

*  Several of the spectrophotometric standards have bad coordinates so setups can be tricky.  We need to update these coordinates.
