Plans are under way to create a new way of performing non-interactive observations which will be called auto-observing . ... Non-interactive observing with CIMA has for a long time been available with the use of CIMA command files. Contrary to normal command file observing which requires a command file with a set of commands to be executed sequentially, auto-observing will use a list of sources and a list of instructions on how to observe each of the sources. ...

The Planning and Scheduling Tool was designed allow the user easily to take advantage of all available resources of the four telescopes (LASCO's three coronagraphs and the EIT Telescope) to maximize the use of the telemetry downlink. The Planning Tool allows users to develop customized observing sequences while monitoring compression factors and on-board processing times to realistically work within the limits of the instruments. ...

... Perhaps the most interesting satellites in this group are the ones sent into distant orbits, some of them extending well past the Moon--e.g. the WIND spacecraft pictured here. Among them is a long series of IMP s (Interplanetary Monitoring Platforms) which sampled the Earth's distant magnetic environment, the magnetosphere, and the surrounding interplanetary region; IMP-8 is still returning good data, more than 20 years after its launch. ...

Next: Reducing the observations Up: PEPSYS general photometry Previous: Influencing the plan . ... If the telescope and instrumentation are unfamiliar to you, you may have trouble keeping to the schedule for the first night or two, so try to work with a previous observer on the equipment for a night or two of training before your observing run. If you fall behind, try to keep as many low-altitude observations of extinction stars as you can, and drop some circumzenithal ones if necessary. ...
