... The first time you acquire an object you must include the overhead for the guide star acquisition. ... If it is larger, then the observer can choose to maintain pointing through the gyros (drop-to-gyro) or re-acquire the guide stars (3 minute overhead per re-acquisition-note that this is not the 6-minute orbit re-acquisition) every time the telescope goes back to the target; with the first option the pointing uncertainty is about 1 milliarcsec/second due to telescope drift. ... Exposure overheads: ....
