... To help you get the necessary calibration data in the least observing time, the planning program generates a schedule of required observations. A considerable amount of photometric expertise is built into this program, so that observers without much photometric experience can confidently adopt its recommended defaults, and obtain a plan that should be satisfactory for most photometric observing programs. ...
