Abstract for MTS:
FORS2 LSS spectroscopy of the optical counterpart of an ultra-luminous X-ray source (ULX) in the outer spiral arms of the galaxy MCG-3-34-63.
Information for the acquisition: Please centre on MCG-3-34-63 nucleus as best as is possible. The faint ULX should then lie on the slit at the position angle of 210.6 degs (ROT ANGLE=-210.6 = 149.4). The ULX is clearly seen on HST WFPC images, but will be too faint in the acq images.
FINDING CHARTS
==============
079.D-0299A.001.jpg : Large scale (5x5 arcmin) DSS1 image.
079.D-0299A.002.jpg : Zoom-in of the nucleus and ULX region. This is a WFPC2 image slightly smoothed to simulate realistic seeing. The image scaling shows the nucleus clearly.
079.D-0299A.003.jpg : Same image as the previous one, but not smoothed. Image scaling is chosen to emphasize the ULX.
Waiver request: PI requested a change of phase 1 seeing constraint -- to improve it from 1".0 arcsec to 0".8, in order to better subtract the background from the host galaxy. Waiver 079.D-0299A.01.WAV was approved.
