|Comments : step thru full wavelength range of instrument to get SED         |
|           then select broad band pass and do time-series                   |
|           Unsure about ideal detector, but this is an override, so will    |
|           need to use whatever is mounted. Similarly I believe we could    |
            use either f/8 or f/15
