Simultaneous ground-based (FORS1) and satellite (SIRTF) monitoring 
of a field in the ecliptic plane in order to discover main belt 
asteroids.  Since the FORS1 observations have to be done on the same 
night, and on a few nights before and after, the SIRTF observations 
this program has very specific timing requirements: execute all OBs 
with names starting 19_ on January 19th (in the order 19_1_strip, 
19_2_strip, etc.), those beginning with 20_ on January 20th, etc. 
Program uses non-standard FORS1 read-out mode (ABCD 2x2 high) for 
imaging to avoid trailing effects.  
Note: As of Jan. 17, the user has not supplied a finding chart of 
the field to be observed; it is unlikely that this will arrive USG 
within the time-frame in which these observations need to be started.  
Please use a blind pointing at the supplied coordinates.
UPDATE JAN 23: 
Please ignore old OBs and use only the new submitted ones for  
Jan 23 (OBnames: 23_ ) The pattern of exposures was redefined.
A new finding chart 271.C5051A.003.ps has been created.
