Currently we recommend four different observing strategies to the observer as outlined in 'Detection limits and observing strategy for very faint point sources' (SAI/96-188/Doc, Laureijs et al). From the available observations we can deduce the detection limits in the 90 micron band, and concerning signal derivation we see a preference for the telescope nodding technique. From our recent C200 measurements (see "Report on ISOPHOT C160 observations of HR 6132" by Abraham et al. from 14/10/96) we have found, that in case of significant cirrus contamination two reference positions may not be sufficient in order to derive the true background level and the amplitude of the background fluctuations. The C100 and C200 detectors behave different w.r.t. noise and signal transients which are considered to be essential criteria for selection of the right mapping mode. Date: 20/11/96 U. Klaas, R.J.
