RA Range: 2.7-6.4

Constraint set (Typical seeing, Transparency,Airmass, FLI, Moon distance): 1.0 2CLR 1.3 1.0 50


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


Special Remarks:


 
 
  MR spectroscopy in both SW and LW of the Red Rectangle. 

  *** WARNING!!! **** The preset of the LW observation of the object 
requires manual intervention: after centering the bright star on the slit, 
an offset of 2" towards the East must be given by hand, since the LW
slit acquisition template does not admit offsets. 

  Note the rather strong airmass constraint (<1.3). 

  Calibration requirements rather strict: observations need to be done in a 
sequence as given in the README file, and repeated here: 
 
SWS-night1: Sta1-SW1_n1   (=standard 1 -SWS + slit 1" _night1)
            Sta1-SW2_n1   (=standard 1 -SWS + slit 2" _night1)
            RedR_SW1_n1
            Sta2-SW1_n1
            Sta2-SW2_n1

SWS-night2: Sta1-SW1_n2   (=standard 1 -SWS + slit 1" _night2)
	    Sta1-SW2_n2   (=standard 1 -SWS + slit 2" _night2)
            RedR_SW1_n2
	    Sta2-SW1_n2
            Sta2-SW2_n2

SWS-night3: Sta1-SW1_n3   (=standard 1 -SWS + slit 1" _night3)
	    Sta1-SW2_n3   (=standard 1 -SWS + slit 2" _night3)
            RedR_SW1_n3
	    Sta2-SW1_n3
            Sta2-SW2_n3

SWS-night4: Sta1-SW1_n4   (=standard 1 -SWS + slit 1" _night4)
            Sta1-SW2_n4   (=standard 1 -SWS + slit 2" _night4)
            RedR_SW1_n4
            Sta2-SW1_n4
            Sta2-SW2_n4

LWS:        Star1-LWc1   (=standard 1 -LWS + chopping + slit 1")
            Star1-LWc2   (=standard 1 -SWS + chopping + slit 2")
            RedR_LWc1
            Star2-LWc1
            Star2-LWc2

  The sequence assumes that the program is executed over five separate
nights. In case that two sequences can be executed on the same night,
please do not skip calibrations -the two sequences should be executed in
full.

  No time-critical aspects, other than those derived from the rather
tight airmass constraint. Calibration OBs provided by the user
supersede the the calibration plan.
