Subaru Telescope, NAOJ plans to have the first HSC queue-mode workshop 
on June 16th and 17th in Mitaka campus of NAOJ.

Subaru Telescope plans to introduce queue-mode observation to Hyper 
Suprime-Cam (HSC) open-use observations, step-by-step starting from 
S16A (Feb. to July 2016). In queue-mode observation, PI of accepted 
proposals are requested to submit observing conditions and observing 
plans in advance, and the observations are carried out without the 
participation of the proposers on site. 
The goal of this workshop is to explain to users the overview of 
queue-mode, procedures from proposal submission to data delivery, 
and actions requested to users, so that potential users become ready 
for Call for Proposals of S16A which is scheduled to be issued in 
early August 2015. Some hands-on session using beta-version of tools 
is also planned.
We would like to encourage the current and future HSC observers to 
participate this workshop.

- Venue: Large seminar room, Subaru building, NAOJ Mitaka campus
