Standard 6dF Observing process
Selection of `tiles’ from latest tiling run sufficient to cover night/run
Consistent directory structure and field naming conventions ensures no confusion of input files, configure files etc for each nights observations
Potential targets cross-checked against SCOS image thumbnails to remove contaminants prior to configuration
.fld files created for each `cleaned’ tile pointing – includes merging in of suitable Tycho-2 guide stars
6dfconfigure run on .fld files for given field plate (takes into account broken fibres etc)
