\section{Pointing Time}
The second time factor of the observation is the pointing time. There are a number of restrictions on this. Firstly, there must be enough pointings to cover the entire mosaic, and so the pointing time cannot be greater than the integration time divided by the number of pointings required. Our object which is approximately 2' to a side requires approximately 30 pointings. Therefore, if we choose the suggested pointing time suggested by CASA of \href{http://casaguides.nrao.edu/index.php?title=Simulation_Guide_for_New_Users_(CASA_3.4)}{10s}, the integration must be longer than 300s.
We would expect short integration times to give better data if all other variables are held constant. However, they also come have a larger overhead add to the time required on the telescope. We will investigate the difference between 10 and 30s pointings.
