This is a LSS programme on the dwarf galaxy NGC4431. The OBs are designed
to obtain long slit spectra along the major axis and offset westward and 
eastward of the major axis. Moreover, the PI has submitted 3 OBs to observe 
some reference stars. 
The users remarks that the I band acquisition images will be used for
photometric purposes. Therefore, DO NOT SKIP THE ACQUISITION if groups of
OBs are executed consecutively.

In all cases target acquisition has to be performed on the galaxy nucleus.
For the offset pointings, the relevant OBs will then apply a suitable offset
to get to the region of interest.
Finally, for each slit orientation (centered, westward, eastward), each OB
has its own on-slit offset.

NOTE: since the PI wants to use the acquisition images for scientific
purposes, he should be provided with all required calibrations
(bias, skyflats, phot. standards). The READOUT mode for _acq_ images is 
in fact <200kHz,2x2,low>, which is the standard for FORS2 imaging too.
Unless other IMG OBs are executed when OBs from this programme are executed,
this may require some manual intervention in order to create the proper
calibration OBs. See also the README file.
