Observation Preparation
The easiest way to develop a Phase II program is to start from the template observations generated by the Observing Tool from the configuration specified in your observing proposal. The OT Library can also be consulted for more examples. Phase II submissions are required to contain spectroscopic acquisition sequences and all calibrations. These observations are automatically generated by the Observing Tool, although they will need customising for the PI's particular use case (e.g. adding telluric standard star coordinates). Examples of observations with these calibrations included are also given in the OT Library.
