Field Setup

In the Field Setup form, the user is asked for target parameters such as the name, coordinates, velocity and proper motion. Either individual (one or more) pointings or a single rectangle (that will be automatically mosaiced) can be defined. The OT includes a clustering algorithm that will attempt to split the sources into multiple clusters such that all the pointings lie within 10 degrees of each other (1 degree for long-baseline projects) with a maximum of 150 pointings per cluster. At Phase 2 each cluster is written into a separate Scheduling Block.

The bottom of the form shows the following buttons that control the source list:
