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

I have two targets that are undergoing eclipses on May 04/05.
Please observe the target, J143646, continuously from the
start of the night until 03:45 UT.  Please observe J150940 from 04:00UT 
until morning twilight.

Please defocus the telescope so that the FWHM of the images are
approximately 2.0-2.5 arcsec.

The target stars are bright and short exposures will probably be required 
so as not to saturate the target.

Please determine the best exposure times in each filter by observing
the star once until the peak counts reach approximately 30000 ADU.
Exposure times of 10-30s in the four different SDSS griz filters will
be typical. If exposures take less than 7 seconds, it will be
necessary to defocus the telescope more than the requested 2.5 arcsec
in order not saturate the target star.

Once the exposure times are chosen for each filter, please keep those
fixed all the observations cycling through the SDSS griz filters for
the duration of the observations.

Please use the full CCD, so that many reference stars are also visible
in the FOV.  Please use the Quad amplifier mode to reduce the readout
time to 0.8min and move the target star off the center of the quad
readout frame.

Observe continuously while cycling through the four filters SDSS griz.

Please keep target star on the same exact pixel position for the
duration of the observations.  Realistically, we are usually able to
keep the star centered on the same pixel position within +- 5 pixels.
