Same equipment, faster cadence: main goal for SNe: early time

A lot of PTF resources will be pointed at rapid response; PESSTO is perfect for complementary long-term campaigns

2013-onward: SEDM

Dedicated low-res screening spectrograph on the 60” (perhaps also ICAM on INT). Crucial help for screening (only 46/month by PESSTO), while PESSTO can excel at follow-up

Even at higher cadence SN discovery rate would equal PTF peak rates (~1000 year). PESSTO will be crucial for screening and follow-up.
