COMICS observation planning applet

N.B. In a nutshell, you type all the necessary information to carry out a single observation sequence in the spaces provided in each of the five tabs (Target, Telescope, COMICS, Sequence, Comments), and press which will create a text file of what you've just typed in in the Output window at the bottom of the Applet. After satisfying yourself everything is fine, you then press to store the text file in a cut/paste buffer, open your favourite text editor and make an exact copy of the file there. Make sure you have produced all the necessary files (remember, if you are observing an object in three filters, then you'll probably need six files - one file for each filter so three target files plus three standard files) and stored them somewhere handy (i.e. save them somewhere that you can easily access from Subaru) before coming to observe at Subaru Telescope.
