Subaru Collaborators,

sorry for the delay in processing the FOCAS/MOS images,
but I think I have made some progress now, and the design
can proceed (perhaps with slight changes).

I matched the 6 SUBARU imaging fields up to the SDSS imaging
fields and transformed the coordinates of the SDSS detections
onto the SUBARU fields.  Then I 'culled' the matched objects
in color (fields 1-4: g-r_0 < 0.9 or fields 5-6: g-r_0 < 0.6) 
magnitude ( fields 1-4: 18 < g < 23, fields 5-6: 18 < g < 22.1)
and removed most (not all) extended objects (galaxies).

This left us with the following numbers of objects in the six fields:

Field 1: 39
Field 2: 35
Field 3: 41
Field 4: 46
Field 5: 58
Field 6: 62

This is still too many for a 'clean' slitmask, I presume,
so I'm willing to whittle it down further, but I wanted to get this
set of targets out so that the Sextractor, or whatever program that
designs the slit masks can be tried.

I didn't include yet any bright 'reference stars'.
What do we need here? How many and how bright?

The target lists now may be found on the web page:

http://home.fnal.gov/~yanny/subaru/index.html

Under:

Targets for Field 1
Targets for Field 2
etc...

These links give an ASCII table with:

x (pixel) y        RA (J2000) DEC      run r c fld   id   g'    g_0 g-r_0

Where: 

x y pixel position, is the
pixel position of the object on the LONG (180s) SUBARU
exposure (ss_f1l, ss_f2l, ss_f3l, etc) for each field.  
The x,y pixels have been re-centered on the stellar object, and so they should 
be directly 'feedable' into the 'mask designer' program.  
If they are not, let me know and I can help.

RA, DEC is RA DEC.

run-r-c-fld-id is the SDSS id for each object

g' is the SDSS g' magnitude for the object (we want spectra with coverage
	from about 3900-4900A  CaK - Hbeta if we can get it)


g_0 is the de-reddened g' magnitude

g-r_0 is the de-reddened g-r color.
	F stars have about 0.1 < g-r_0 < 0.3.


+==============

Please note that I didn't put any bright 'reference stars' into this list yet,
please let me know what we need here,
and also if there are other things I can do to make the mask creation easier,
i.e. cull down to a smaller number of objects, add more objects, etc..,
add more information,etc.
