    Hi Chris,

    How much ISSAC time remains? The possible uses of that time are as follows:

     1) continue S02-002
     2) observe a z ~ 1.2 SN in the 14h+05d if one is found there and not in SDF
     3) obtain final references for Boccherini, and possibly Satie
     4) observe a z ~ 0.5 SN

    If S02-002 was discovered at max, then it is now about 10 days after
    max, so it will start to fade quickly. If there is time to do item #2
    and #3, as well as #1, then we should (re)start on S02-002 right away.
    Otherwise, within one week we should know whether or not item #2 will
    be implemented. If it is not, then we can restart on S02-002.

    By the way, do we have a problem - is Gemini the only telescope that can
    follow a z ~ 1.2 SN if it is in the SDF? Since there isn't NIRI time this
    month, how are we going to observe this SN, since, as Ariel pointed out,
    VLT can't observe it?

    - Greg
