Notes. The P and F in the list of observations stand for preceding and following field of view (FOV). The position angle (third column) is the direction in which the FOV scans across the star, with towards local North and 90° towards local East. The last column (#) is a sequential numbering of transit groups that are distinct in time and/or direction.
