! VIPS sources
! Note that with rep=10 and and 17 calibration scans, there are 557
! requested scans.  That makes about 10 minutes of lost observing
! for each second of average slew and setup time.
! The dwell time was set by the effort to finish in 10:30:00.
! If the schedule could be longer, the dwell could be longer.
