Hints on how to improve your search strategy
- Do a general search first, look at the result and use
values from the result table to refine your query; gradually
narrow down your search.
- On the query forms one can
select the columns that appear in the tabular
output. So, mark all fields which are
not displayed by default prior to the search and after looking
at the result decide yourself which columns are crucial in the
given context.
- Browse also the programme (proposal) information and search
for keywords or known authors to get references to particular
observations that cannot otherwise be matched with some search
criteria on a given form.
- When querying for targets make sure the radius of the
box around the target coordinates is large enough to cover the
field of view of the instruments in which you are interested.
- Consult the online help for a given field on a form if available.
