This figure shows the orientation of maps for project 180-06
as a function of LST start time:
This project aims to make maps at 100 positions in a 10 x 10 grid.
Each position has been given its own "source" name in the database:
UD##XXXX, where ## indicates the wobbler throw that should be used
for that position (either 36 or 48) and XXXX indicates its location
in the 10 x 10 grid (e.g., UD36+5+5).

The following figure shows all 100 positions in the field. "Sources"
that have already been observed show mini-maps indicating the directions
of their subscans (thin lines). "Sources" that have not yet been observed
still show the numbers that are part of their names.

If you are about to start a new map for project 180-06,

(1) Note the current LST.

(2) Determine the approximate subscan direction that will result for
a map starting at the current LST, by referring to the figure *below*.

(3) Find a high-priority position in the figure *above* whose
neighbors have been mapped (if at all) with different subscan
directions from a map starting at the current LST. (Neighbors
with perpendicular subscan directions are ideal.)

(4) Determine the "source" name for this position: UD + wobbler
throw (from top of column) + grid position (from cell). This is
the "source" you should map following the instructions in the
obsform.
Line 8: Line 35:
If you are about to start a new map for project 180-06, note
the orientation and subscan direction for the current LST.
The Co-PIs will try to update the top figure on a daily basis, but
in case we miss a day you should still make sure that the "source"
you have chosen has not already been observed. We thank you for
your hard work!
Line 11: Line 40:
Next, find a high-priority "source" in the following figure
whose neighbors have been mapped (if at all) with *different*
subscan directions.

This is the "source" you should observe now.
