• 4.5h

General Description

• In this programme, the QSO HE1013-2136 shall be mapped with VIMOS/IFU
   in high-res mode (0.33"/pix) with the MR-grism + filter GG435. The approved execution
   time was split in 3 OBS of 1.5h each. 
  Each OB is split in a pair of 2 observations lasting 1760sec each, offset by a couple
   of arcsecs. The OB HE1013-2136_IFU_1/2 shift the target along diagonal lines (for
   4 exposures practically towards the  4 "corners" of the IFU), while in OB HE1013-2136_IFU_3
   the target is shifted along RA. The entire system just fits 2times in the FOV of
   the IFU in the chosen configuration. 
  In order not to be eaten by the horrible overheads in IFU-mode a waiver request
   was submitted to extend the allowed length of an OB to 1.5h. This waiver request
   was approved. See section waiver requested for details.
  As it is mandatory, a nighttime calibration template was attached to all OBs.

Waiver Requests

• A waiver request (ID 075.B-0677B.01) to extend the allowed length of a
   OB to 1.5h was submitted on January, 31st 2005. The reason for this request were
   the horrible long overheads when observing withy the IFU. The waiver request was
   approved by the User Support Departement on February, 4th.

Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
 on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?

• YES

If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
 Category for each Observing Template ?

• N/A

Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
 Phase 2 Web Pages ?

• YES

If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
 and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?

• N/A

Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
 not part of the Calibration Plan ?

• YES

If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
 files to your OBs?

• N/A

If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
 use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?

• N/A

If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
 did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?

• N/A

Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam
 ?

• N/A

Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for all the offset
 positions and that they do not produce unacceptable vignetting of the field of view
 ?

• N/A
