Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
The observation consists of taking narrow-band images + spectra of Circinus
and Centaurus A. Each spectrum needs two telluric standards, at airmasses +/- 10-20%
of the target airmass, i.e. if the target spectrum has mean airmass 1.1, please
obtain one telluric standard at airmass ~1.0 and another one at ~1.2. There are
OBs with telluric standards included, but if these do not give the required airmass
at time of observation, please choose new stars from the list of 23 bright MIR TIMMI2
standards.
Please observe the telluric standards close in time to main target.
There are two slit positions for Centaurus A. If these two spectra are obtained
at different nights, please observe two sets of telluric standards, one per night.
The execution time for some OBs exceed 1hr05min, please see WaiverID 075.B-0631A.01.
Please note that the slit position angles in the finding charts are defined from
the North (0 deg), and increasing counterclockwise toward East. The OB rotator angle
is defined in the opposite direction, so an angle of 46.5 deg on the finding chart
corresponds to a rotator angle of 360 - 46.5 = 313.5 deg.

Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
If the provided finding chart is at a different wavelength than the observations,
did you clearly describe in the README file how to identify the target?
Did you specify a guide star brighter than V=12mag within a field of
r=5arcmin around the science target?
