General Description

• This run performs VISIR pre-imaging in Sic and Q2 of IC4662, and permits
   later spectroscopy of the brightest sources detected in the images. I have chosen
   a parallel chop-nod sequence with 30" throw; the galaxy is 10" wide in the N-S direction
   in the radio, and we expect that this is also the maximum extent in the mid-IR.
    We assume the VLT pointing is good to 1-2" so that the imaging acquisition can
   be blind, centering on the radio peaks in the galaxy where we expect strongest mid-IR
   emission.  At 10 microns, there will be two bright sources (and possibly a few fainter
   sources) in the field of view. They should be oriented nearly E-W, with the brighter
   source to the W. See the radio map included with the proposal.)  The science target
   consists of these two bright sources.  The finding chart shows the (nonrotated)
   Visir FOV and chop FOV.  Sky PA for the chop=40deg, so we give a telescope chop
   PA=320deg (=360-40).  We note in each OB comment the desired sky PA and our assumed
   chop PA, as well as desired field rotation angle (sky PA=15deg) and assumed telescope
   rotator angle (345deg = 360-15).

Waiver Requests

• A waiver request was submitted 6am Thur. 24 Feb (WaiverID: 075.B-0580A.01)
   and subsequently granted, allowing to split the run into pre-imaging and spectroscopy
   parts.  An extension to file these Phase II OBs by Feb. 28 without penalty was kindly
   granted by ESO USD (USD-12601, F. Comeron).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• None

Time-Critical Aspects

• This a now a pre-imaging run that should be executed quickly to allow
   time to generate and observe the spectroscopic OBs. It should done by mid-June in
   order to allow the spectroscopy to be done by mid-August, when the source is up.

Special Execution Requirements

• Since this is a pre-imaging run, it should done by mid-June in order to
   allow the spectroscopy to be done by mid-August, when the source is up.
