Add existing observation

Users can add a past/existing Gemini observation of a target on GOATS to create a dedicated page for the given observation ID.

Note

For Gemini observations, make sure that the ID you are adding is the observation ID and not the program ID. Then, click the Update Observation Status button to retrieve the status of the observation from the Gemini Observing Database.

If one would rather have the data for a given Gemini program ID, follow the instructions in Working with Gemini program ID.
