Constraint Details

Monitor: Y
Criteria: Ideally, we would like the requested exposure to be distributed as follows: one observation of 10 ks on June 1, followed by twelve observations, each lasting 6 ks, on June 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. For later dates, where the enhanced visibility tool does not yet indicate suitable windows, shorter observations would be acceptable if the source is not visible for the full 6 ks.
