Target of Opportunity (ToO) Data Files
Instructions for Observers
on the CTIO Blanco 4m

• The observer or telescope operator will copy the data files to the computer samba1 in the CTIO building.

To copy the Target-of-Opportunity data from Tololo to the ftp server in La Serena:

1. from ctioa8 terminal, copy the appropriate data to the directory /user/mosaic/ftp-ToO/ on the computer samba1.ctio.noao.edu

• For example, if all the data you took for the ToO program is located in the directory /ua84/mosaic/20100804_ToO, you would execute this command:
              scp -pr /ua84/mosaic/20100804_ToO/ samba1.ctio.noao.edu:/user/mosaic/ftp-ToO/
• Another example, if you wanted to transfer one image at a time:
              scp /ua84/mosaic/20100810_ToO/*.fits samba1.ctio.noao.edu:/user/mosaic/ftp-ToO/

2. make sure all the data copied over

• The Target-of-Opportunity Team will retrieve their ToO data:

1. ftp ftp.ctio.noao.edu 8000
         account: mosaicToO
         passwd: ## same as the mosaic Blanco observing password ##
