General Description
This is a simple imaging programme. The QSO HE1013-2136 shall be observed
in
H-band with ISAAC. 1 OB was prepared for these observations.
If HE1013-2136 is placed on the center of ISAAC a bright star (H-mag = 10.6) at
72" from the center (delta RA = -68") to the west will be present on the images.
To avoid this bright star, HE1013-2136 is shifted by -40" (-2.9s) to the west (new
RA = 10h 15m 55.3s for center of ISAAC instead of 10h 15m 52.4s). This ensures that
the bright star is at least 20" off the FOV of ISAAC (for the adopted jitter box
width). With this configuration, the brightest star in the field has then H-mag
= 13.3.
In the accompanying finding charts, the field in H-band from 2MASS as well as in
I-band from VLT-observations is shown. In the VLT-I-band finding chart, the FOV
of ISAAC as well as the H-mags for the brightest stars from 2MASS are indicated.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
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 you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar
templates ?
If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle, did you
check carefully the definition in the manual ?
If you are doing spectroscopy, did you draw the slit on the Finding Charts
?
Did you enter the magnitude of the brightest star in the field-of-view
in each OB ?
If you use the MoveToPixel acquisition, have you given clear instructions
on the FC and in the OB comment section as to how the field should be centered ?
