Here's the current priority list and exposure times for the beginning of April, 1997. We may have some last minute updates and minor changes, but this should be the basic list we will want. SN 9784 (at z=0.83) is the highest priority overall (and two other SNe can be seen in the same field). Note that the exposure times are assuming good conditions with seeing 1 arcsec or better on a 3.6-to-4 meter class telescope. Also, some of these exposure times are getting long enough (e.g. 750 seconds) that you may decide the divide the total exposure time into more slightly shorter ones, if it looks like saturation is getting to be a problem. In three cases, an "Average coord" is listed just above a "paragraph" of two or three supernovae that can be observed simultaneously if the field is at least 6.8 arcminutes accross (the size of the WIYN telescope field). (In a couple of other cases an extra supernova number is also listed just for our records just to remind us that there is an old supernova coord on the same field that we do not need to target anymore, but we might as well add it to the lightcurve if we get it for free.) IMPORTANT NOTE: coords given here are all in 1950.
