This is a imaging programme on a moving target, Centaur 2000 GM137,
with the aim of detecting possible cometary activity. Apart from
Chiron, this would be the only known case of such activity in bodies
of this kind.
The OBs are designed to obtain a long series of 50sec exposures,
mainly with the R filter.
Due to the short exposure time, the users do not track on the moving
target. They remark that even though the target can be observed 
during the whole period, it would be preferable to execute the OBs
between 2003 Jan. 28-Feb. 27.
Different OBs can be executed in different nights.

Note that the users have submitted two OBs for photometric standard
stars, using binning 1x1. They have submitted a waiver request, which
was approved by PSO. If the science is splitted across two nights, then
one calibration OB per night should be obtained. If the OBs are
splitted across more than two nights, the photometric standard OBs
should be executed one per night during the first two nights only.
