Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

General Description

Simple coronagraphic H-band imaging of the vicinity of targets for the
 Space Interferometer Mission. Some care needs to be done in centering the object
 behind the mask for two different rotation angles.

Note that we've got an approved waiver to execute OBs in pair. The generic OB name
 is: TargetName-rot0 (0 deg rotation) and TargetName-rot45 (45deg rotation). OB-rot45
 has PSF flag set ON and must be executed right after OB-rot0. No preset and no optimization
 needs to be done for the second OB, simply re-center behind the mask.

The waiver also authorizes us to report a total estimated execution time by P2PP
 above our time allocation - Indeed, P2PP ignores the fact that the second OB is
 executed with Preset and Optimization false.  

Magnitudes of objects varies from V=8.6 to 12.5. H band = 5.5 to 10.5.

Adjust DIT/NDIT if necessary to prevent too much saturation of the inner region
 of the coronagraphic core (should not exceed the ~2/3 of the total well depth).

Waiver Requests

A waiver has been approved to execute the OB in pair with Preset/Optimization
 False for the second OB. A simple re-positioning behind the mask will be needed
 prior to start the science template for the second rotator angle. For instance the
 OB "TargetName-rot0" is first executed, then the OB "TargetName-rot45" is loaded
 with Preset/Optimization false.

Special Execution Requirements

Execute first OB for rotation 0 deg, then OB for rotation 45 deg. OBs
 need to be repeated if conditions degrade conderably while executing the second
 OB.
