[Comm2011] this week

[Edwin A. Valentyn]

Dear team

On monday  6 June OCAM2 will start, and given the short week which is 
ahead of us it's very important t/o focus on the highest priority 
matters to be done befor Thursday this week;/ here they are:

- finalize the preparation of the standards fields:
-----  confirm pointings + offsets and choice of  guide stars
-----  confirm that the used integration times are OK for ALL bands, 
u,g,r,i,z, B, V;
-----  put in folder (John and Gijs)
-----  focus on SA107, but prepare for two more

- demo the two health checks on data taken in COM1B (Ewout) and hand 
over to John for implementation on Paranal- Edwin also at demo

- prepare an overall  schedule (note the moon, 2 full dark nights in the 
beginning and moony half nights later)) for OCAM2 observing (John 
leading this, with help of Gijs, Edwin)

- derive set of overall zero points and compare with ETC (our and/or 
ESO) ; put in doc (Gijs)

- deliver a draft report with some first results to ESO on wednesday 
(Ewout +Edwin); insert the results in the doc as discussed last friday, 
and replace the long list of sections at the end by simple table (Ewout)

- make the simple histograms ESO is asking for and deliver on wednesday 
(Gert)

- produce a nice high resolution RGB of a Hercules field, to be used for 
the NL press release around 8 June (Jeffrey)

- input to NL press release (Edwin)

Note, we know enough for the moment on flats and straylight, so this is 
not highest priority for now.

If I have overlooked some important things, please add them to this list 
before monday morning.

see you
Edwin
