General Description

• The aim of this run is to detect planets around red giant stars in open
   clusters. Several measurements are needed for each target to estimate the RV variability
   or to constrain the orbit of possible planets. The name of the OBs indicates in
   which sequence they should be executed. As the targets are members of open clusters,
   the fields can be very crowded and the finding charts are often necessary to identify
   the right star. Target acquisition therefore needs special attention.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• None

Time-Critical Aspects

• As we want to follow-up the RV variations of the targets on timescales
   of weeks to months, it is necessary to wait some time between two successive measurements
   on a given star. The names of the OBs should be rather explicit on that matter and
   give indications on the OB sequencing for each target. However, the number of weeks
   appearing in the OB names is ONLY an indication of the spacing between two successive
   measurements and should not be taken too seriously. Data acquisition on a given
   star should continue even in case of large time gaps between successive measurements.
