General Description

• In this run we are going to observe 4 galactic bulge fields and 2 galactic
   disk fields. For each field there are 6 OBs: 1 with short exposures in the UBVI
   filters, 1 with a short exposure and a long exposure in the U filter and 4 with
   a long exposure in the U filter. Since for 4 fields the UBI filter we have chosen
   are not that ones for which ESO provides the standard calibration (except for "bulge1"
   and "disk1" for which the B filter too is standard), there are also 6 OBs to observe
   Landolt standard stars: each standard OB must be taken in the same night of the
   galactic fields OBs with short exposure (for example: "std-bulge2" and "bulge2-short").

Waiver Requests

• Since we must to observe also standard stars we had to cut a couple of
   target fields.In this way we have some time in advance and since we are going to
   use EIS observations for these fields,we thought to take short exposures in the
   V and I filters in order to obtain a better link to EIS data.We sent the waiver
   request the March 1th and received the approval the March 11th.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• The seeing must be not worse than 1 arcsec

Time-Critical Aspects

• none

Special Execution Requirements

• We have assigned to each field a priority:
  Bulge1, std-bulge1, Disk1 and std-disk1 have priority 1;
  Bulge2 and std-bulge2 have priority 2;
  Bulge3, std-bulge3, Disk2 and std-disk2 have priority 3;
  Bulge4 and std-bulge4 have priority 4.
  Furthermore, in order to get photometric calibration, OBs with standard fields must
   be taken in the same night of OBs with the short exposures (for example, std-disk1
   and disk1-short).
  We have chosen standard stars fields between the ones used for the WFI Standard
   Calibration.

Special Calibration Information

• We observe each field in 4 filters (UBVI):
  The V filter is standard then for it standard calibration is provided. 
  The U and I filters are not standard then we have prepared CalOBs to take skyflats
   and domeflats. Regard to the B filter, for 4 fields it is a no standard filter then
   we prepared OBs for skyflats and domeflats. For the other two fields (bulge1 and
   disk1) standard calibration is provided. 
  In the case of long exposures we require 3 skyflats only in the U filter. In the
   case of short exposures, we require 3 skyflats in I, 3 in B and 3 in U (except for
   bulge1 and disk1 for which we require only 3 skyflats in I and 3 in U). We are aware
   that it would be not possible to observe skyflats in all filters in the same night,
   then we give priority to the filters in the following order: 1)I ;2)B; 3)U.
