The documents linked to below describe the preparation and execution of observations at UKIRT under the ORAC and Observation Management Project (OMP)  software. 

Instrument Page	Refer back here for operating details, optimal exposures etc.
Password Issue	Before you can store any OT-generated project to the OMP database, you will need a password for the project. Please use your OMP password. If you are a new user or have lost it, please contact your project support astronomer.
Integration Time Calculator	UKIRT integration time calculator (currently functional for WFCAM)
Observing Overheads	An estimate of efficiencies for UKIRT’s various observing modes
Calibrations	Lists of calibration stars, telluric ratioing stars, polarimetry standards etc.
Observation Preparation	Introduction to the UKIRT Observing Tool, used to prepare observations for all UKIRT facility instruments, whether classically or flexibly scheduled.
Finder Charts	How to upload finder charts for source identification by summit queue observers.
Survey Definition	Introduction to the Survey Definition Tool (SDT), which is used to generate large surveys for WFCAM.
Observation Execution	Introduction to the summit systems: database Query Tool and Sequence Console.
OMP Functions & Accounting	The OMP does all the accountancy required for flexing and sends various emails out automatically and on request. All of these functions are documented in one place here.
MSB Checklist	Your prepared observations will be checked out by your support astronomer. This document gives the checklist they will use (so please look at it before submitting to the summit database)
