Imaging windowed to small area of CCD. The PI obtained waivers to be allowed to correct OB length for time saved by using the windowed readout, and to use low gain. Three OBs were executed, but the pointing of the telescope was not set correctly to the center of the window. New coords have now been calculated and inserted to replace the old ones. Note 1: Please verify (using the FCs) that the pointing coords were calculated the correct way before executing the full OBs. Note 2: The ACTUAL execution time should be used to determine when the programme should be declared completed. As submitted it is more than 10 hours (measured in p2pp). Note 3: There is a problem with the two nearby bright stars. There is quite a bit of confusing information around concerning when the CCD/amplifier will saturate/fill the well. USG provided the best info we could get, but neither we (nor Hermann who I just talked to on the subject) are completely certain at this point if the full well or the amplifier saturation will be the limiting factor in low gain. I therefore suggest that the observer checks the bright stars in the image to see if they bleed or saturate. If they do, then execution should be stopped and the OBs should be adjusted.
