General Description

• This program consists of z band pre-imaging of 5 fields as part of a large
   program for imaging and spectroscopy. Although this imaging is to a scientific standard
   it will also be used to design MXU spectroscopy masks for program 175.A-0706(E)
   in period P77.
  
  We are aware that you recommend 100sec exposures when observing in the z band however
   from previous experience we prefer 120sec exposures. Mario is happy with this as
   the observations are being carried out in the darkest conditions.
  
  As this is zband imaging special care has to be taken when observing the photometric
   calibration field. Often only the main object in the field has a zband magnitude
   (unlike the ones used for other bands, where you have secondary objects in the field)
   so care needs to be taken not to saturate this object. Mario is aware of this as
   it has happened in the past.
