NOTES FOR TARGET FIELDS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The dark of night is 11 hours long, and my half night is thus 5.5
hours.

IF PHOTOMETRIC, then my 5.5 hours of observations can be run almost
anytime of the night.  You must start before 05:00 UT (so as to get
the full half night).  You are free to switch the order of the targets
or choose alternative Landolt fields depending on your judgment of
conditions.  You can work a bit into twilight and through poor seeing,
but it must be photometric.  If it turns non-photometric during the
middle, then just switch over to the time series in the
non-photometric program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES FOR CALIBRATION FIELDS 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If photometric, observe the Landolt fields in UBVRI as described in
the OBSERVING SEQUENCE section.
