Special Remarks:
Please execute the two MOV_ OBs (_A and _B) IMMEDIATELY one after the other. Since the pointing is the same skip preset for the second OB.

Abstract for MTS:
V-band imaging polarimetry of NEO 2004 VD17.
Remember to update RA, DEC and differential tracking in the OB! The sky motion columns in the ephemeris file are first for RA and then DEC.

MOV_2004vd17_dates_B must be performed immediately after run_A MOV_2004vd17_dates_A. Please do not preset the telescope for the second OB, since the pointing is the same, but RECENTER the target on the same part of the CCD as the first OB.
Please place the obj near the center of the CCD but not in a conjunction between different read out ports, in order to have the 2 pol. images in the same read out region.
Attached finding chart is just an example, but will not be valid in general due to fast moving target.

TIME CRITICAL: Must be observed between 16-20 April! MINIMUM time separation from the observations of run (C) of this programme is 2 nights.

SPECIAL CALIBRATIONS: The user provided the standard star OB for all polarization angles, that must be observed before or after the asteroid. Please check that it does not saturate and decrease expt if necessary. Any other zero polarization standard would also be ok.
