List of PST issues:
- shutter overhead
- fixed exposure times or fixed m5?
- scheduler optimization
- Cadence workshop planning
- readout rate vs. noise and crosstalk.
- commissioning camera early use
- making things available: LSST algorithms, detectors on loan, etc.
- adaptive scheduler?
- install SLR-cam now?
- mean time between closing on second pair and opening on next on next pointing is 6.5 sec.
- obs to potential time is 54.7%.
- 73% of observing is spent with shutter open.
- 120 seconds for filter change
- about 8 -9 filter changes per night
opsim issues:
- sky brightness does not include scattered moonlight
- no adaptive observing
- phone-book approach to asteroids
- shape metric (higher dependence on PSF than m5)
- half-step or full step slews?
- add CNP field for atmospheric calibration
- do zenith-dependent exposures?
- do Galactic-extinction-corrected exposures?
- test raft and chip dropouts, impact on performance metrics
CWS todo:
- put Andy Connolly in touch with Ken Chambers and JT regarding PS-1 scheduling.
- install all-sky camera in Illinois house at Pachon.
- advocate for more realistic y band sky variation
- consider taking full advantage of 4 second slew minimum.
