As its now galaxy season to all intents and purpose I thought I would just remind member on piers 1,2 & 3 that these piers will work unguided up to a certain length. This is great for broadband galaxy jobs as there is always a distinct lack of guide stars to choose from because of the nature of an OAG's limited FOV Pier - 1 max unguided subs: 180s Pier - 2 max unguided subs: 240s Pier - 3 max unguided subs: 120s This would speed up acquisition times as well as mean far less guide failures due to unsuitable guide stars. So you will get more data if you go unguided :)
