Calibration Time on Telescope

Jim

• “We’re all on the same team”

• Next steps: Dwight, Jim, Kekoa will go through procedures

• Goal: instrument release earlier than now, telescope release (for instruments which need dome cals) around 3:30. Be more aggressive on reserving morning calibration time as well.

• We should review “minimum acceptable calibrations”. Think about SNR as the determinant.

• Lots of tradeoffs in telescope release time
