This is an imaging program with the goal of obtaining a weak lensing mass
reconstruction of a portion of the Sculptor Supercluster. The weak lensing
analysis will be done in the R-band, which are the primary observations,
using shorter V and B-band exposures to obtain colors to select supercluster
galaxies.  The R-band imaging has been requested at 1.0" seeing limit - due
to the nature of weak lensing, the better the seeing the better the results,
so this should be treated as a true upper limit and the data still taken if
the seeing is much better.

For details of observational strategy, please, see README file.

Program requested for standard calibrations in BVR filters.
