Adrien, has steadily been working behind the scenes to integrate comets into our database where our software will accept them, We think after
much head scratching that Adrien now has it working so will start adding
it to syndicate piers for beta testing
I wonder if one of you would be kind enough to input a comet in a pier,
please make sure its one that is over lets say 30º so we are not
imaging in the dirt and keep the exposure lengths short obviously as its
a comet after all. Those of you who are members of multiple syndicates
please keep an eye that all piers have one comet job inputted
As Comets on the whole are time sensitive as they are the type of object that you need to get finished quickly, they will have the highest priority and moon avoidance level. The moon avoidance is fluid at present as we find our feet between lunar intrusion with shorter exposures and the need to complete the comet data in a prudent time
Priority level - 3
Comets - 95 & 5 moon avoidance
Fingers crossed and a big thank you from me to Adrien as he has been on this for many days
