ObservationComplexType

A container for all the information necessary to produce an image given some telescope and instrument (e.g. <Camera>). Note that <DateTimeStarted> is not <DateTimeStart> (as in <DateTimeConstraint>) but is the DateTime in a "report" about observations already performed. A "request" (the default) is for a single observation which, when carried out, can be described by a "report". The "reservation" value of the "type" attribute is for live-use where a block of time is to be reserved during which many things - including observations - might be made and eventually "report"ed.
