Planning Observations

Planning Observations

LBTI observing preparation and scripting is not currently supported in the LBTO Observing Tool.

Most LBTI runs are executed in queue observing, unless by approved special request. Observations defined by the Principle Investigators are prepared and executed by the expert observers. It is important to carefully define the data quality requirements, and compose a clear and complete readme to ensure the observers gather the desired science data. The following sections will outline some details about the PI’s should include the observing strategies and constraints that PI’s should consider as they prepare their observations and readme’s.

Please contact the LBTI instrument scientist if you have any questions.
