Hey Observers,
I'm rolling out the long awaited "robodamus" predicting tool for BOSS S/N i=
n kronos. I think this feature is less useful to y'all since y'all are pret=
ty good at predicting what the future SN will be, but specifically because =
of that experience, I'm interested to hear your feedback on how accurate yo=
u think the tool is.
I also expect that this tool will be able to alert you to rapid changes in =
observing conditions during an exposure, and adjust predicted SN accordingl=
y.
I have not had a chance to add a final check for a morning twilight design.=
 If anyone missed it on the call: the scheduler will schedule long epoch da=
rk fields at the end of the night, which can pre-empt the twilight design. =
If you finish a dark exposure around 15 degree twilight and want to grab a =
bright design, "force bright now" should do the trick? Otherwise I'll hopef=
ully correct this soon.
Thanks, and looking forward to any feedback!
