    Dear Greg,
       I have put this on my list. According to the ETC, a two hour exposure should be sufficient.
    We have 5.5 hours of time left, so there we have a good chance in getting these data. It depends
    on how many of the C02 SNe require a final light curve point and on priorities.

    Cheers, Chris.
