Abstract for MTS:
This is a UVES/DIC2/RED programme on Venus.
Observations are possibly going to take place during twilight.
According to the the PI, observations can be pushed until the sun is at -7 degrees.
The acquisition sequence is the following:
1. First center the slit on the center of the disk.
2. Apply the position angle specified in phase 2 material.
3. Apply the sequence of offsets to put the slit on the dayside of Venus.
OBs have always to be executed in pairs. For example, _Par_RED_N1-1 and _Par_DIC_N1-2 have to be executed on the same night, one after the other.
Do not execute more than one _Par_RED_Nx-1/_Par_DIC_Nx-2 per night. Same is
true for _Per_RED_Nx-1/_Per_DIC_Nx-2.
Note that Venus will set quickly and so only one pair per night is feasible.
Also, follow the user priority (see UsrP field in the OT).
For more details, see the README file.
IMPORTANT NOTE: the position angle must be selected from the Ephemeris files and inserted into the OBs together with the other position data.
Note that the PI has submitted daytime CAL OBs for his _expfree_observations.
IMPORTANT NOTE (05.06.07): because a Waiver was approved and went unnoticed, final
decision is that we do not go back to the PI and ask him to change his OBs. Hence,
PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT THIS PROGRAMME USES ATTACHED ThAr CALIBRATIONS ALSO IN THE R860 SETTING! Plan observations accordingly as to minimize damage as much as possible.
