Abstract for MTS:
IFU observations of crowded bulge fields. In order to get accurate radial velocities in these crowded fields seeing constraint is critical.
There are several 1h OBs with slightly different pointings for each area (field) of the Bulge. One pointing per field has higher priority. The PI requested to complete each field to a similar degree rather than finishing all the OBs of one field.

Observations of the dark patch, i.e. IFU-darkbulge-* OBs should be observed as close as possible in time to the bulge observations and interspersed between them. These OBs will serve to obtain a sky spectrum. Seeing is not important for them, but the sky conditions should be similar to other fields.

There are 6 OBs for a radial velocity standard HD157457 to be observed on the same nights as the bulge fields. Only one radial velocity standard should be observed per night. It is very bright and it may be observed in the twilight.
