Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Target : Zet Pup -- a bright (K=3) O-type star
Aim: To acquire high S/N (~200) HiRes IR spectra in various wavelength settings
AO: The target is the NGS for AO
Observing window : the object is visble (airmass<1.5) for a bit more than 1h
at the end of the night
Note: (i) Given the brightness of the target, the observations can be attempted
even if one can not close the loop; similarly, the observations can probably be
be pursued for a while during twilight;
(ii) S/N is the critical point. Observations can be performed under most seeing/cloud
coverage conditions as far as a S/N of about 200 is reached; s
(iii) we provide a telluric star (HD25490, K=3.8) of spectral type A1V. However,
any telluric stars of spectral type A0V ou A1V can be used as far as a S/N about
150 is obtained.
(iv) IF TIME IS LACKING, performing the observations in the JHK band but not in
the L will still produce valuable output.

If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
