What to bring on your observing run?

Finder charts (see https://cloud.wikis.utexas.edu/wiki/spaces/IGRINS/pages/261718482).

Encoder settings for PA’s if you plan to rotate IGRINS (see https://cloud.wikis.utexas.edu/wiki/spaces/IGRINS/pages/78908241).

Offset box positions for offset guide stars (found using https://cloud.wikis.utexas.edu/wiki/spaces/IGRINS/pages/261718482).

Offsets to nearby bright stars to check telescope pointing in faint or crowded fields (need to add to Kyle's code the option to give a small list of offset stars)

A list of nearby A0V standard stars: You can use either our https://cloud.wikis.utexas.edu/wiki/spaces/IGRINS/pages/78907196 (already uploaded to TCS for observers to use) or the IRTF Locator for Nearby A0V and G2V Stars: choose either MMT (31ºN, 110ºW)  or APO (32ºN, 105ºW).

A list of targets to observe with priority and exposure times calculated for your required SNR (see https://cloud.wikis.utexas.edu/wiki/spaces/IGRINS/pages/78908245).

Airmass Charts for all targets to help plan observations. We recommend using STARALT (keep in mind this tool does not account for daylight savings time--during daylight savings all airmasses will occur 1 hour later than the appear on the chart).

Worklists (see https://cloud.wikis.utexas.edu/wiki/spaces/IGRINS/pages/256475213) if you want to have all your object coordinates uploaded to TCS without having to hand type them all the time.

A book, a show, or work to do if the weather is bad.

Snack(s) of choice (the astronomer lodge feeds us well, but it can be nice to have a special snack during observing!)

Caffeine (if not a coffee or tea drinker)! The astronomer lodge provides coffee and tea and the observing room has a coffee maker and kettle.
