Major Instrument Modes: Imaging

RA Range: 23:15 - 01:47

Constraint set (Typical seeing, Transparency,Airmass, FLI, Moon distance):

Pre-imaging run?	No!	Chilean run?	No!	Special calibrations?	No!
Time critical?	No!	ToO?	No!	Carry-over run?	No!

Special Remarks:

This is MXU pre-imaging. NOTE: that PI was given "grey" time, hence
the FLI=0.5 is OK. However, the "distance from moon" > 120 deg seems
to me to be an indirect way of trying to trick the system. It is
unlikely that one can find a time to observe this object above
airmass=1.5 (48 deg above the horizon), while it is 120 deg from the
moon, unless the moon is below (or extremely close to) the horizon.
Hence, this is effectively a requirement for dark-time, which he
was not given. We have (currently) no rules about MoonDist
requirements, so formally this trick is allowed.
