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.

UIST Spectroscopy Template MSBs

MSB	Contents	Description	DR Recipes Used
IFU Nod to blank sky	Flat & Arc Bright-star Target-acquisition Target-observation	Observe a flat and arc, then an obj-sky-sky-obj sequence on the standard (with offset 30″ to blank sky). Science target observed with a simple obj-sky-sky-obj sequence (with 60″ offsets to blank sky) Most basic IFU mode – for targets smaller than IFU field-of-view.	STANDARD_STAR EXTENDED_SOURCE
IFU Nod to blank sky with jitter	Flat & Arc Bright-star Target-acquisition Target-observation	Observe a flat and arc, then an obj-sky-sky-obj sequence on the standard (with offset 30″ to blank sky). Science target again observed with an obj-sky-sky-obj sequence (60″ offsets to blank sky), though obj frames are jittered by a few pixels to patch bad pixels, etc. Recommended IFU mode – for targets smaller than IFU field-of-view.	STANDARD_STAR MAP_EXTENDED_SOURCE
IFU Map extended source	Flat & Arc Bright-star Target-acquisition Target-observation	Observe a flat and arc, then an obj-sky-sky-obj sequence on the standard (with offset 30″ to blank sky). Science target again observed with an obj-sky-sky-obj sequence (60″ offsets to blank sky), though obj frames are jittered by a few arcseconds so that a larger field is mapped Recommended IFU mode – for targets larger than IFU field-of-view.	STANDARD_STAR MAP_EXTENDED_SOURCE
