Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

```
9hr
```

General Description

This is a Target of Opportunity/Rapid Response Mode programme to follow
 up as quickly as possible high redshift GRB candidates. The requested OBs must therefore
 be executed as soon as possible after we have triggered the override.

Note: to cover all possibilities we have prepared one (and only one) OB for each
 observation we may conceivably wish to use. However we may need to repeat a given
 OB once or twice to obtain long (>1hr total execution time) exposures. We understand
 this is only possible for ToOs, not for RRMs. Therefore we have made as many copies
 of each RRM that we may wish to use.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

None

Time-Critical Aspects

This is a ToO programme, and the activated OBs should be observed as soon
 as possible after we trigger the override. Otherwise the target may be too faint
 to detect.
