HET Priority List
Every day at 9:10 AM a new priority list is created. This gives the
Resident Astronomer on duty some guidance as to the more important
targets to be observed given "best observing conditions."
Every day at 9:20 AM a best case observing plan is created starting from the priority
list above, and adding further objects to fill in all time gaps as usefully and
fully as possible.
Every day at 9:20 AM a list of the best grism to be mounted is generated based
on every target in the queue but weighted by the modified priority. To
see this list and please follow the following link:
The current Priority List Algorithm may
be further improved as we get better at defining how to make optimal observing decisions.
