It can also handle multiple instruments and even multiple observatories. Overlays of multiple exposures can also be done visually. And information will pass between tools and phases seamlessly with no manual transfer of information. This alone will avoid many unnecessary mistakes. Although the SEA tools are integrated they can be used individually.
SEA is about halfway through the development cycle.
Currently, the expert system capabilities are limited and have not yet been fully explored. SEA has also not yet undergone significant testing for its effectiveness. The SEA Exposure Time Calculator and Visual Target Tuner. Common proposal preparation and user support tools that are similar across observatories reduce the learning curve and help in achieving familiarity. The minimal goal of the workshop was to get to know each other, our areas of expertise and priorities.
