/* Setting up an observation */
*'''IPP Factor''': Intra/Inter Proposal Priority factor.  This will largely be of interest if you would like to prioritise different observations within your proposal; you would give a larger number to a higher priority observation.  Values must be between 0.5 and 2.  If you’re happy for all your observations to have equal priority, stick with the default value of 1.05.  This is a very basic summary, the full explanation of IPP can be found [https://lco.global/documents/20/the_new_priority_factor.pdf here].

*'''Acceptability Threshold''': Here you would specify the percentage of the request that would need to be done in order for you to accept it as having been completed.  E.g. if you requested 10 exposures and only 9 were taken, the default of 90% would accept this as complete.  Had you specified 100%, the observation would be rescheduled and that time would be deducted from your allocation.
 
*'''Configuration Repeats''': This must be 1.
 
*'''Optimization Type''': The options are:
#''Time'': favours scheduling the observation earlier in the observing window.
#''Airmass'': favours observing the target at lower airmass.  Note that specifying this results in a slightly lower chance of the request being observed. 
 
*'''Mosaic''': This has not yet been commissioned with Lesedi+Mookodi, so should be left as “None”.
