为了最大限度地提高CFH 12 K镶嵌式宽视场成像仪（不久将是MegaCam）的科学生产力，2001年初在加拿大-法国-夏威夷望远镜上实施了卫星服务观测（QSO）模式。QSO系统由一整套软件组成部分组成，允许提交程序、准备队列，最后执行和评价观测。QSO项目是被称为新观测过程（NOP）的更广泛系统的一部分。该系统包括通过名为Elixir的管道进行数据采集，数据简化和分析，以及数据归档和分发组件（DADS）。在本文中，我们回顾了QSO项目的几个技术和业务方面。特别是，我们提出了我们的战略，技术架构，程序提交系统，和开发的工具的准备和执行的队列。我们的成功经验，超过150个夜晚的类星体业务进行了讨论沿着与未来计划的队列观测与MegaCam和其他仪器在CFHT。
In order to maximize the scientific productivity of the CFH12K mosaic wide-field imager (and soon MegaCam), the Queued Service Observing (QSO) mode was implemented at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope at the beginning of 2001. The QSO system consists of an ensemble of software components allowing for the submission of programs, the preparation of queues, and finally the execution and evaluation of observations. The QSO project is part of a broader system known as the New Observing Process (NOP). This system includes data acquisition, data reduction and analysis through a pipeline named Elixir, and a data archiving and distribution component (DADS). In this paper, we review several technical and operational aspects of the QSO project. In particular, we present our strategy, technical architecture, program submission system, and the tools developed for the preparation and execution of the queues. Our successful experience of over 150 nights of QSO operations is also discussed along with the future plans for queue observing with MegaCam and other instruments at CFHT.
