UIST observing programmes will be set up using the ORAC-OMP version of the OT. Your starting point will be the template sequences in the UIST library (under UKIRT Template Library). Available sequences are described below.

MSB	Contents	Description	DR Recipes Used
Point Source nod along slit	Flat/Arc, Bright-(standard)-star Target-observation	Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by again sliding +6″ then -6″ along the slit. Default point-source spectroscopy mode.	STANDARD_STAR POINT_SOURCE
Faint Point Source nod along slit	Flat/Arc, Bright-(standard)-star Target-observation	Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by again sliding +6″ then -6″ along the slit. The DR assumes standard and target spectra are on the same row	STANDARD_STAR FAINT_POINT_SOURCE
Extended Source nod 60″ along slit	Flat/Arc, Bright-(standard)-star Target-observation	Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by sliding source +60″ then -60″ along slit.	STANDARD_STAR EXTENDED_SOURCE
Extended Source nod 24″ along slit	Flat/Arc, Bright-(standard)-star Target-observation	Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by sliding source +24″ then -24″ along slit.	STANDARD_STAR EXTENDED_SOURCE
Extended Source nod to sky	Flat/Arc, Bright-(standard)-star Target-observation	Observe a flat and arc, then standard (slid +6″ then -6″ along slit). Acquire target in imaging mode, then observe by nodding between source and blank sky.	STANDARD_STAR EXTENDED_SOURCE
