Issues which need to be addressed:

	Priority 1 (highest):
	---------------------

	Fractional and variable k values, to be addressed
	in control system first. Perhaps implement nightly 
	stroke linearity calibrations.

	Systematic errors in the back ground data, related
	to detector non-linearities, sky contamination near
	bright stars. Perform tests using new delay between
	scan and background measurement.

	Photometric inconsistency between photometric scans
	and full array scans. We need to add NAT recording 
	during back ground scans.

	Priority 2:
	-----------

	Investigation of archival data from 2002, which remains
	largely unreduced at the required level. Consistency
	checks with respect to throughput, system visibility,
	background, etc.

	Fractional corruption of data by micro-locks.

	Editing of raw FDL delay excursions and spikes.

	Throughput differences between stations and their dependence
	on wavelength.

	Simulator for after-pulsing and investigation of proper
	bias correction for triple products. Also implement Dave's
	suggestions as to the triple bias compensation.

	Specify back ground positions through RA and Dec offsets
	to the siderostat pointing. Make sure that this position
	in in blank sky.

	Priority 3:
	-----------

	Investigation of different seeing indicators. New ones
	are available through OYSTER, but have not been tested
	extensively enough.

	Best scheduling compromises between number of coherent
	and incoherent scans. This depends on the actual benefits
	currently realized for the calibration.

	Assessment of differences between data requested and data
	received due to observational problems.

	"Starwheel" scheduling software.

How can we make progress now:

	The above issued need to be addressed, whereby the challenge is
	to have good bookkeeping for comparative analysis. For example,
	compare different methods of bias correction. Compare quality
	indicators for different nights and see effect on data.
	All results should be documented on the NPOI internal page.

	Since we now have, in addition to our astrometry task, the
	imaging project, an additional full time astronomer is needed.
	This person, to be stationed in Flagstaff, would agree to
	learn and become very familiar with the standard NPOI data
	reduction software (e.g. OYSTER). He /she would be expected to
	write code for OYSTER, update the manual on new procedures, 
	provide feedback, and take on other routine service tasks
	such as daily reductions, and scheduling.
