Campaign D1 - D2 ================ Summary: The first major activity with the 24um array. First light observations for 24um in D1 - this may be the first time we actually see celestial objects with MIPS! The first focus test occurs in D2. Other basic 24um operations checks, such as determining 24um Voffset values, a check of the onboard SUR algorithm, preliminary photometry and superresolution AOT validation, and the first dedicated collection of 24um darks and flats (in photometry mode) will be obtained.

IER listed in cookbook is different from the linked version (6.1.2 vs. 6.5.2, only 1 second difference in execution time) Why is there a HUGE (13.5 hours!!) slew tax in the newer version of the IER???? MIPS-121: Sensitive to the possible lack of pointing information? (Cluster mode obs.) MIPS-115 listed as a dependency, but this does not occur until one day later in Campaign E! Results are very dependent on good flats, the very first of which will be obtained concurrently. The same task is in campaign E; however, there is not enough time (1 day) in which to make substantive changes, should a failure occur here. MIPS-125: Failure is critical, since it affects the entire 24um calibration. Voffsets can be checked in contingency by using other data; however, no appropriate RAW data will be taken until task 110 4 days later (there are no RAW darks, though). MIPS-320: The AOR included in the cookbook is from Aire version 6.1, while the linked version is from 6.2. MIPS-100 is listed as a dependency - is this really necessary? Is first light actually crucial to anything else? Not entirely clear why an additional 3 cycles of 3s exposures will be taken. Is this just to confirm that the # of cycles parameter operates correctly? MIPS-917: Why is this 2 separate tasks? The positions are the same. Exceeds allotted time.
