 There are some things that can be done relatively easily remotely, with a handful of telecons, and there are some thing that really need to be done in person.   Playing with making 3-color mosaics with software of your choice is something we can do remotely.  Learning how to use software like APT is best done in person. Here is what I envision for us for the next several months, including the visit in June, and then the following months.
 The overall "story arc" of the science can be found on the [[Working with L1688]] page.

 NOW, keep in mind that much of this is NOT trivial.  You can do it, I am sure of it, but it is definitely the deep end of the pool, and it will take much more than part of an afternoon to accomplish.  It is entirely likely that we will just get to do the beginnings of it, talk about how it should work, and then do lots of the rest remotely later on.  We may never get to items 11 or even 10 from [[Working with L1688]].  But we will still have stuff to write up for the poster.  With any luck, we can have the poster abstract written before you leave the SSC.

 Finish photometry. Finish analysis. Ask more questions as you absorb the information. Include data from other bands. Experiment with maybe doing similar analysis on other regions.

 Our visit in June (14-16) may seem like it has some deadlines, but in terms of the science, my plan would be to backtrack a little for the first half-day or so (?), to make sure we're all on the same page. So there's really no science deadlines for that.
-Operationally, though, June 14 does imply some deadlines. It would be good to know how many people are coming at least a few weeks before y'all show up on my doorstep.  And of course it would be good to make travel reservations early enough to make sure you get good rates.  So I am arbitrarily picking '''May 15''' as a deadline for getting travel logistics (including people logistics) locked down.  (see [[CG4 Summer Visit]] to consolidate details.) Similarly, I'd say make sure you (and all your students each) have a functional laptop that you know how to use with as much of the relevant software (Spot, Leopard, ds9, APT, a web browser, Excel or spreadsheet program of your choice) installed as possible by '''June 7'''.
