LBA Schedule and Observing Roster for Hobart, August 2013

Useful links:

Session Notes:

  • Hobart observers must operate Ceduna (with disk change/setup change assistance from Bev), Katherine and Yarragadee
  • Please remember to stick a post-it note with the experiment name on the disks when you remove them!
  • Don't forget to update the ATNF wiki for each experiment. Bare minimum is frequencies, DAS profile and disks. Add any other relevant information. (See past entries for reference.)

Observing & Monitoring Checklists:

Observing setup checklist for Hobart and Ceduna can be found here.

Note that there are no longer any separate fringechecks except for Simon's frequency swapping experiment). The fringecheck has been incorporated into the main schedule with the first 30-60 minutes tracking a strong fringe-finder.
