Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
The observation consists of taking spectra at 2 slit positions centered
on the nucleus of NGC1068.
These observations require telluric standards to be taken at airmasses of +/- 10-20%
of the airmass of NGC1068 at observation. E.g. if the mean airmass of the NGC1068
spectrum is 1.1, please obtain one telluric standard at airmass ~1.0 and another
one at ~1.2. There are two OBs with telluric standards (HD1522 and HD29291) that
should be appropriate for observations done in the second half of September. If
these are not found to be at the required airmasses at the time of observation,
please choose two other stars from the list of 23 bright TIMMI2 calibration standards.
The exposure time for a telluric standard is 600 seconds.
Please obtain the standards close in time to main target.
Execution time for some OBs exceed 1hr5min, refer to WaiverID 075.B-0631A.01
The slit position angles in the finding charts have been defined from the North
(0 deg), and increasing counterclockwise toward the East. The OB rotator angle is
defined in the opposite direction, so a position angle of 102 deg in the finding
chart corresponds to a rotator angle of 258 deg.

Pre-imaging sources not listed above
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?
