Hi,
We have good start tonight at Subaru. The sky is clear, and
current seeing is 0.55arcsec or so. We finished evening
standard stars successfully, and are going to the target.
The following is the current plan after talked with Saul.
We will add more exposures to SS2-4, prepare the
second franking field of SDF, and take the final reference
of 2001cw.
revised Apr.10
stnd. 19:30- 20:30 i,R 10sec
SDFn 20:40- 22:30 R 8minx10
SDFw 22:40- 24:00 i 6minx10
SS3 24:10- 25:40 i 6minx11
SS4 25:40- 27:10 i 6minx11
SS2 27:10- 27:45 i 6minx4
1520 27:55- 29:15 i 6minx10
stnd. 29:15- i,R 10sec

P.S. Thank you very much, Andy.
