Example:
The shortest possible overheads for a CRIRES OB are the following. 360s
telescope preset, plus 150s target acquisition in NoAO mode, plus the read-out time for one
exposure with NDIT=1 being 2.4s. Hence, the overheads for this OB will be 512.4s.
An alternative way to easily calculate the overhead is to create a CRIRES mock OB by
using p2demo available at: https://www.eso.org/p2demo
.
Under the CRIRES programme
ID 60.A-9253(K), the folder named USD-Tutorials provides examples of OBs specifically
designed for different observing strategies (note that not all observing templates have been
implemented yet). These OBs can be copied into a new folder and then modified regarding
the exposure time, number of exposures and the observing strategy. Remember to employ
the latest version of the Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) for the estimate of the exposure
time.
