Scheduling Help Page

Selecting a scheduling constraint on the left hand panel brings up a 'Name' text entry field on the right hand panel, and two further tab pages. The first tab page 'Optional Start/Stop Time Information' allows you to specify the preferred LST range for your observations. You may also use this tab pane to request that the session be repeated more than once, with a specified gap in days between repeats.

If you fill in the repeat count, the 'Total Time' for this session will be calculated as the requested 'Total Integration Time' multiplied by the repeat count (and the Total Time for the proposal will be adjusted accordingly).

The 'Optional Dates Information' tab page allows you to specify optimal, impossible or synchronous dates to apply to your observations, along with specific reasons for these. To add a date range, select the appropriate radio button, and then click on the start and end dates on the calendar. More than one range in each category may be added. To delete a single date range, click on the appropriate bar (it will turn black) and then click the 'delete' button. The 'delete all' button deletes all ranges of all types.
