Part	Description
Value (Boolean)	True if the observatory should attempt to get as muich of the data specified as possible, even if all data cannot be acquired.

Remarks

This attribute tells the observatory that it can try to acquire as much of the requested data as possible, even if it knows ahead of time that not all of the data can be acquired. Some observatories will reject a request that clearly cannot be completed when the request is eligible to be started.

This is most useful when you want to run a long time series, usually for the "rest of the night" and want to observatory to do its best to complete it.
