Notes to proposers added

Gemini Phase I Tool (PIT) recommendations and warnings:

1) Be sure to include overheads in your time request. These are not automatic for IGRINS as a visitor instrument.

2) The ITC section of the proposal is not required for visitor instruments, but you should include a table of your targets and calculated exposure times so the technical TAC can easy review your estimates.

3) We assume that any water vapor and sky background is acceptable for IGRINS observations. The ETC on this webpage assumes seeing ~0.6" and clear skies.

4) If you make your IGRINS program Band 3 allowable (Consider for Band 3 = Yes), then make sure to adjust your exposure times in the Band 3 Observations tab to account for worse conditions.
