I_trgb = expected trgb I mag Orb = #Orbits Time = Time available assumes 2400 secs/orbit SN15 = Time to reach I_trgb at S/N=15 SN10 = Time to reach I_trgb at S/N=10 T_f814 = I band exptime/#exposures SN_I = I band S/N at I = I_trgb T_f606 = V band exptime/#exposures SN_V = V band S/N at V = I_trgb - 2 The assumed strategy is 2x1200 sec exposures per orbit and ability to split an orbit between V & I as needed.
