./too-alfosc-photometry.sh

Description:

First moves the telescope to OBJECT. The user is requested to check guiding and press return to continue if OK. Then NUM_EXP exposures with EXP_TIME exposure time are taken for each filter FILTER. Optionally a dither pattern DITH_PAT with dither step DITH_STEP, CCD window xsize XSIZE, ysize YSIZE and CCD amplifier AMPLIFIER may be set.

The script exits with full CCD window, high gain, amplifier A , field rotation 90, guiding off and all wheels in open position.

./too-alfosc-spectroscopy.sh

Description:

First moves the telescope to OBJECT. The user is requested to check guiding and press return to continue if OK. Then the target is positioned interactively on the slit using the alfosc.aquisition sequencer script. This procedure is described in detail here. The user is requested to check the target position and press return to continue if OK. Then one wavelength calibration exposure followed by NUM_EXP exposures with exposure time EXP_TIME using grism GRISM, slit SLIT and a optional blocking filter FILTER are taken. Flat exposures are also taken depending on the value of FLAT.
