This will require careful consideration: Should a Best Efforts Plan continue after an Observation fails? This might result in a cascade of Observation Failures if the failure is caused by something like a bad guide star or passing clouds. In the latter case it would be better to chew up the time doing a bad Observation, maybe the next one would be OK. Like I said, this'll require careful consideration!
