    CALIBRATIONS

    Please take a series of darks at 40s (10). Take a junk image first and then 10 40s darks. Use the file "dark40s.pro" in my area:

    OBSERVATIONS

    Put in the J filter. Put star 1 around (200,200). The SN will start at at (370,320).

    We have the following observing files:

    SN2005cf_bj
    SN2005cf_vy
    SN2005cf_rh
    SN2005cf_ih
    SN2005cf_vk
    SN2005cf_ik

    We will offset 0.9s of time W. We will carry out the following sequence. Always take a junk file after any telescope move or after any pause in the observations of more than a few minutes.

    SN2005cf_bj,SN2005cf_vk,SN2005cf_vy,SN2005cf_rh
    move telescope 0.9s W
    SN2005cf_ih,SN2005cf_ik
    move telescope 0.9s W
    SN2005cf_rh,SN2005cf_vk,SN2005cf_bj
    move telescope 0.9s W
    SN2005cf_vk
    move telescope 0.9s W
    SN2005cf_ik

    I have written a procedure called "SN2005cf.pro" which you should run instead of the individual *.obs files.
