This is aimed at the following victims, but others should feel free to come.

McMullin, Rupen, Sowinski, Cummings, Perez, Dhawan.


My guess is we can resume tests of reference pointing on Friday, after
the current work settles. I think we have enough test files on hand, but
let's meet for 15 minutes and agree on a draft plan:

1. Preliminaries: e.g. TelCal, MCAF, flags working; no missing BDF's;
    pointing raster works, solutions generated. No CBE blockers.

    I assume this will get tested by Friday evening, by Ken, Keith,
    Michael & co. I will be happy to examine data as needed.


2. Reference pointing: Laura, Vivek, & co - get files ready to run in
    the gaps over the weekend:

    Starting with a few repeats of a simple pattern and working up to
    what a live user might want, e.g.

    C pointing, C scans.

    Comparisons of X and C pointing

    RSRO and OSRO modes, singly and mixed.

    Short blocks of real observing; etc.


Thanks, Vivek.
