Create Science Goals

If you have just started the OT (i.e. without loading a project) the OT displays an empty project structure in the Project Structure pane. To create a new programme in the menu bar click on File $\rightarrow$ New Program . You are now ready to work on the new observing programme and to create one or more Science Goals in the Science Plan node.

To create a Science Goal, first select the upper project or the Science Plan node. Next, click on Edit $\rightarrow$ New Science Goal (star with a ``2''). This will create a Science Goal node in the Science Plan folder. It consists of four forms: Field Setup, Spectral Setup, Control and Performance Parameters and Calibration Setup Parameters, all identical to the Science Goal fields that have been discussed in Chapter  6 on Phase 1 proposal preparation.

The subsequent steps for filling the the science goals are identical to those described inthe previous chapter for Phase 1.
