General Description

• 1) We have basically one target of interest which is V4332 Sgr. We wish
   to take spectra of
  it in 2 spectral regions using UVES. The first UVES spectrum covers 476-678nm (the
   present README file pertains to this spectrum). The second spectrum covers 676-1052nm
   (which simultaneously gives a blue spectrum at central w.l. of 437 nm)
  
  2) We are a little concerned at not including standard calibrations for the spectra
   at point 1 as separate OBs. But we understand that a flatfied, bias and spectral
   calibration data are provided by the observatory and need not be included as OBs.
   This is what is stated in Section 9.2 of the UVES Templates Reference Guide (Doc
   VLT-MAN-ESO-13200-1567). In case our understanding is wrong, such calibration data
   "MUST" be taken and the time for it can be adjusted by reducing the target OBs accordingly
  
  3)Since both the spectra mentionted in point 1 above will have telluric lines which
   we wish to remove, we are taking corresponding spectra of the standard star LTT
   7987. This object has similar RA and Dec values as the target and therefore similar
   airmass. This is a hot white dwarf which is expected to have a featureless continuum
   except for telluric features.
