The site quality component has a number of
sub-frames, for each of the conditions on which the OMP database can
filter observations. In these subframes,
"Allocated"
means "I don't want to specify a limit any more strict than that
already imposed by the UKIRT TAG" (if the TAG has done so - this will
be outlined in your TAG feedback). Otherwise, enter numerical values for
:
- seeing range (in arcseconds),
- J-band sky brightness
(mag/square arcsecond - note that the
number in the "min" box should be larger than the number in the "max"
box)
- tau (for reference, a dry
spectroscopic night is currently
defined as tau<=0.09 and dry photometric conditions mean
tau<=0.15),
and click appropriate buttons in the
"moon"
and
"cloud" boxes.
Note that clicking "Thin Cirrus" doesn't mean you
require thin
cirrus
- your observation might get done even in photometric conditions. At
present
we are not able to explicitly cater for programs which actually
need thin cloud cover
!
