The Strategies and Scheduler Program for the SAGES Sky Survey postprint

Abstract: The SAGES survey is a northern sky photometric survey conducted by multiple telescopes with different capabilities at different stations, and it is currently being advanced. At present, there are many photometric surveys worldwide, and most of them have corresponding observation strategies. In order to ensure the effective achievement of SAGES survey scientific goals and implement the survey observation strategy, we have developed a survey observation schedule software. The software runs well in practice and strongly supports the survey observation. This article introduces the observation strategy, software structure, schedule software functions, usage, and output results of the SAGES survey. Furthermore, this program is still supporting the observations of the SAGES survey.
