Survey Design (2)
More fields / night?
- Could we achieve 5 flds/nt? (shorter exposures? quicker change-overs?) But stress on observers, quality control?
Higher useable fraction?
- El Nino! If 0.5 is 0.6 then 1260 fields done in 3 years
- Fewer instrumental problems would also be...instrumental
More nights per year?
- Higher fraction of time? (85% allocation would do it)
Longer duration?
- Perhaps possible, but scientifically undesirable
