(1) We need to distinguish between anticipated threshold and achieved/documented threshold. Until then, be critical to any quoted number
(2) The threshold/energy response of a ground array like Milagro cannot easily be compared to ACTs. This interval respresents the energy range over which 90% of events from a crab-like spectrum are detected.

- * Unified VHE visibility tool
- * LAT visibility tool
- Alerts/transients/scheduled observations
- * VHE timetables
