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

I have one targets that is undergoing eclipses on May 24/25
Please observe the target, J130505, continuously all night long
until the target as set.

The eclipse starts before the beginning of twilight, so please get
on the target as soon as possible and follow as long as possible. 

*There is no additional end of the night target.* 

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.

FILTER(S)      griz
INTEGRATION(S) Exposure times set to get approx 30000 peak cts in target
                in each of the filters.  B=12.4, V=11.9, R=11.8, I~11.3
TOTAL TIME     Twilight until the target sets. Each griz cycles will take ~5 min. 
NOTES          Move the target off the center of the quad readout frame.
               Defocus the telescope to FWHM approximately 2.0-2.5 arcsec.  
               If the exposures take less than 7 seconds, defocus the telescope
                 further.
               Please keep the target on the same pixels for the entire time.
               Please observe this target continuously until the target has set.
               If possible, please start observing the target as soon as possible in
                twilight.
