General Description

This is a pure imaging programme consisting of OBs for SW observations
 (Ks, NB_2.12 and NB_2.17) 
using the S13 camera and for LW observations (Lp without chopping and Mp with chopping)
 using 
the L27 camera. Our targets are bright at optical wavelengths, hence, the VIS WFS
 is used in 
all OBs. The execution of all OBs (even those for Mp with chopping) should be straightforward.
 

Our targets are also bright at infrared wavelengths. As it is crucial for our scientific
 goals 
to keep the source intensities in the linear range of the detector, we kindly ask
 the nighttime 
support astronomer to carefully check the actually measured counts before each science
 template 
is executed. Should it turn out that the measured counts are in the non-linear range
 of the 
detector, we kindly ask the nighttime support astronomer to properly adjust the
 DIT x NDIT 
setting of the science template(s). 

To perform accurate data analysis and interpretation, for each science OB we have
 submitted a 
corresponding PSF reference OB, which should be executed immediately after the science
 OB.

Special Execution Requirements

For accurate data analysis and data interpretation purposes, the successful
 execution of a science OB 
must be followed immediately by the execution of the corresponding OB with the PSF
 reference source. 

All OBs, both for science targets and PSF reference sources, perform the observations
 in two rotator 
positions: first, 0 degree and second, 33 degree. After applying the rotator angle
 offset, the source 
should be (roughly) re-centered in the CONICA field-of-view.

Special Calibration Information

For each science OB a related OB for PSF referencing has been submitted.
