PI wants obtain images in B,V filters of a field centered on
the galaxy NGC 247. For more details about suggested strategy of
observations, please see README file.

Observation nights for this program should be spread out over a time interval
as long as possible, because the principal scientific aim is to detect
long-period Cepheids from the images. Within this time interval,
observation nights should be distributed as uniformly as possible
(avoiding images on consecutive nights).

SPECIAL NOTE: PI submitted OBs for a near-identical WFI programme on another
Sculptor galaxy, NGC 55. He requests that at least on one, and ideally on
both of the nights on which the standard SMC field will be observed for this
programm, one set of OBs, in B and V filters corresponding to the NGC 55
programm will be executed as well.

PCa requested.
