Creating an AOR for Herschel consists of entering targets that are individually linked to a desired Herschel observing mode or Astronomical Observation Template (AOT), and then obtaining a time estimate. The basic steps in completing an AOR are:

8.1. Start the HSpot software

Launch HSpot by either clicking on the Herschel icon (Windows or Mac PC), or by running the program by typing "./HerschelSpot" from the directory where you have installed HSpot for UNIX or Linux installations.
