Project PANOPTES: Submit Targets for RTSRE 2022 Workshop
Observations will be taken with four PANOPTES units deployed at the Maunaloa Observatory, Hawaii. Each unit is equipped with four crop sensor DSLR cameras and medium telephoto lenses, providing a 10° x 15° field of view. Depending on the star density in the target field, thousands or 10s of thousands of stars can be captured in each image. Each image has an exposure time of 120 seconds with a 15 second break between the exposures. An observation typically lasts for 2 hours on one field/target.

Target Criteria:
PANOPTES can potentially support other science observations, such as, variable stars, supernovae, asteroids, comets, etc.
This could be your opportunity to come up with new project ideas, aside from transiting exoplanets!

PANOPTES is best suited to observe targets in the V-band magnitude range of 8-12, considering 2 minute exposure per frame of the observation. For fainter targets, multiple images can be co-added allowing us to go to a V-band magnitude of 17.

You can look up http://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/ for 'Target Name', 'Target Coordinates' and 'V-band Magnitude'.
Target Visibility:
Target of interest should be:
- visible from Maunaloa Observatory latitude (https://hscq.naoj.hawaii.edu/wsgi-scripts/target/)
- at least 20 degrees above the horizon for the duration of the observation
- visible in the night sky for at least 2 hours
- visibility should be calculated after astronomical twilight in the evening and before astronomical twilight close to sunrise
