-- Default observation: High time cadence (Al-poly at 20 second cadence) in order to look for fast events. 384x384 FOV, 4s fixed exposure. Reduce frequency of FLD images to maintain the high cadence.
-- Alternative observation: If specified by the NuSTAR team, instead of a high time cadence observation, do an observation optimized for DEMs: Multiple filters, e.g. Alpoly, Ti-Poly, Al-poly/Ti-poly, thin-Be, med-Be, med-Al. 384hx384h FOV, fixed long exposure times for the thicker filters. Low cadence is OK.
-- If possible, include a full-disk synoptic in 1-2 filters, outside of the NuSTAR observation window within 2 hours of the observation start or stop. This is useful for characterizing hot plasma outside NuSTARfs field of view.
