UDS8UDS 10B JHK2hAlways top priority when observable. Also, look for short single paw observations if there are small time gaps to fill. In that case strictly follow priorities (to achieve completeness of the tiles).

TABLE NOTES:

‘i+’ denotes increased internal priority.
‘i=n’ denotes internal priority set to ‘n’.
‘f=-n’ denotes a raising of n in global priority factor (‘fudge factor’). The more negative the value of n, the higher the priority in the queue.
