Finding Charts

Finder Chart Requirements

A Finder Chart should have the following:

• The science target should be clearly indicated.  If the science target is not visible (too faint or a diffuse object), the reference source and offsets to the science target should be clearly marked.
• The target name or script name should be clearly indicated on the finder chart.
• North and East should be clearly indicated
• The scale needs to be indicated by drawing a bar and writing the bar length in arcseconds or arcminutes.
• The observed band or filter of the image should be indicated and should match that of the acquisition image taken at the LBT
• The image should reach about the same depth as expected in an acquisition image at the LBT
