Special Remarks:
Broadband measurements to be at the end of the night.


 
 
The goal of this Js, H, Ks, NB_1.26, NB_1.64, NB_2.13, and NB_2.17
study is to detect a possible compact stellar cluster (the birthplace
of SGR 0526).  

Although the SGR itself may not be seen in the ISAAC exposures (its
X-ray position is well-defined), what will dominate the field are (1)
the bright SNR N49, and a bright star (J,H,K = 11.51, 10.65, 10.45) near
the field center.  It is for this reason that the broadband measurements
must be performed at the end of the night.

Further, since N49 is very bright narrow band observations of it will
be used to remove most of its line emission from the broadband images.
Therefore, each broadband measurement should be done in combination with
the corresponding narrowband observation:

-> SGR_ISAAC_imaging_Js_H with SGR_ISAAC_Imaging_NB_1_26
-> SGR_ISAAC_Imaging_H_Ks with SGR_ISAAC_imaging_NB_1_64
-> SGR_ISAAC_Imaging_NB_2_13 and SGR_ISAAC_Imaging_NB_2_17 can stand
   by themselves
