Abstract for MTS:
AO/NGS IFU observations (25 and 250 mas/pix) in H and K of galactic open cluster containing massive stars. One pointing, 16 science OBs, 16 calibrator OBs. For each science OB, there is an associated calibrator OB, to be executed immediately following the science OB. To properly sample two binaries in the cluster, the user is also requesting that not more than one science OB + one calibrator OB pair of this programme is executed per night. The user is noticing that because of the brightness of two nearby stars, the AO loop may have trouble closing on the selected A) guide star. Therefore this program has to be executed in good seeing conditions (< 0.6") and before executing each science OB, the size of the diaphragm for the wave-front sensor has to be reduced to 1" in order for the AO not to get confused by a nearby star. A waiver has been granted to this programme to allow this procedure.
