General Description

• This is a R-band imaging run of 10 (still undetected) GRB host galaxies.
   The targets are expected to be fainter than R ~ 23, so we want to coadd many observations
   to obtain very deep images of the fields. Care was taken to avoid very bright stars
   in the fields, and to keep exposure times short enough to avoid oversaturation of
   the brightest ones. For this reason, the center of the field of view is usually
   different from the target position. Finding charts show clearly both the target
   and the expected FOV positions for each object. In every case, coordinates quoted
   in the "Target" field of each OB are those of the center of the required FOV (as
   shown in finding charts), rather than those of the target itself.

Waiver Requests

• A waiver for the delayed submission of Phase 2 material of this run [075.A-0718(A)]
   was requested on February 15, 2005, and approved on February 16, 2005. The justification
   was the unavailability, at that time, of the whole set of accurate target coordinates
   from Swift satellite observations.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• No requirements other than those specified by the observing conditions
   contraints of each OB.

Time-Critical Aspects

• Observations are required to be performed before July 12, 2005 because
   the results are needed to program the spectroscopic observations for our visitor
   mode run [075.A-0718(C)] of July 30-31. For a few targets (clearly indicated in
   the "time interval" section of each OB) that are not observable until late July
   this condition is not required.
