e1: Filters: H continuum; Testing new optical instrument for optical super-resolution using APALO platform. Observations will be performed using NGS mode on Shane AO in the H-band. This is an early development phase of the optical instrument so we may need frequent changes of observation targets. We will submit a comprehensive list of stellar targets well head of planned observations.
