5.8. Running your observations
5.8.1. Moving/copying your schedule files
Your schedule files need to be copied to bigrock into the following directory
structure:
bigrock:/nfs/online/local/tcs/sched/2011/MXXX
where XXX is your project number.
If your project directory does not exist, create it using the mkdir command.
If you’re on a pink visitor network cable, you cannot access bigrock directly. In
that case, scp the files onto minos, and then from minos, scp them to bigrock.
Contact observatory staff if you need help with this.
Directory structure on bigrock:
/nfs/online/local/tcs/sched/2011/M123
this is where all schedules and catalogs you would use for project M123 go.
/nfs/online/local/tcs/sched/CALIB
is where all the pointing schedules and other calibration schedules are kept. DO
NOT copy anything in there yourself. The Moprabub will get you if you do!
/nfs/online/current/aux/tcsgui/catalogue
is where the source catalogues are kept. If observing with TCS version next,
substitute “current” with “next” in the path.
/nfs/online/local/tcs/sched is the same directory as
~/sched_tcs or /home/atcaobs/sched_tcs
