Programme Description
=====================

General Overview
----------------
High-resolution spectroscopy of SN 1987A ejecta and ring


Approved Waiver Request Summary
-------------------------------
Extension for submisson by a couple of days.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints
----------------------------------------
Since there are two bright neighboring stars and in particular 
to separate the northern and southern part of the ring
the observations should be carried out in better than 
0.4" seeing.

Time Critical Aspects
---------------------
SN 1987A is at -70 degrees DEC and is best observed
between November and February.

S0132002112864 05 36 18.88  -69 16 07.05  F  1  12.9  1

Hour angle for which the field was calculated is 4 hours. 

Note all OBs use the same setup.

We are looking at a line emission object (in fact, many as the dense
blobs in the rings light up). We expect to have roughly a S/N of 30 in
the line centres, but falling off very quickly in the wings. Reference
wavelengths 6563 (Halpha), 6301 ([OI]) and 5007 ([OIII]).

OB Compliance Checks
====================

(Y = Yes, N = No, NA = Not Applicable)

Do all your OBs comply with the instrument specific requirements
listed on the instrument specific Phase 2 Web pages ? Y

Do all your Finding Charts comply with the both the general and
instrument-specific finding chart requirements? Y

If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars ? N/A

Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but 
which are not a part of the Calibration Plan?  N/A

[UVES only] Do all your UVES OBs use only the allowed templates listed
on the UVES Phase 2 Web pages ? N/A

[ISAAC only] Did you indicate the magnitude of the brightest star in the
field for ISAAC imaging observations? N/A

[ISAAC only] If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you
use the provided StandardStar templates? N/A

[FLAMES only] Did you specify the hour angle range for which your Target
Setup files are valid ? Y

[FLAMES only] Did you specify the S/N ratio (at some reference
wavelength and per single exposure) you expect to reach with these
observations? Y

[VIMOS only] Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs
using Guidecam? N/A

[VIMOS only] Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for
all the offset positions and that they do not produce unacceptable
vignetting of the field of view? N/A

[MIDI only] Did you indicate for each science star OB the corresponding 
calibrator star OB name in the ReadMe file as well as in the comments 
of the OB ? N/A

[MIDI only] If you use calibrator stars which are not in the
CalVin database, did you specify their characteristics in the ReadMe 
file and in the OBs  ? N/A

If you answered "NO" to any of these questions, please revise your 
OBs *before* submission.
