Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This program is to search for emission line galaxies close to GRB optical
afterglows (OA). In each field we place the slit at 3 or 4 different PAs tracing
a star pattern with the position of the OA at the crux. The PA is indicated in
each OB name. Blind offsets on bright stars (shown on FCs) are used for acquisition.
We provide several finding charts for each field showing the offset star and also
zoomed versions showing the OA (or a circle indicating its position if it is not
visible) with various slit PAs. For each PA there are 2 exposures (in separate
OBs). A shift along the slit is applied in the second exposure of a given OB, the
shift is chosen so that no other bright object will land on the previous spatial
position of the OA.

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 have prepared your finding charts with tools other than FIMS,
do they comply with the specifications on the FORS2 Phase 2 web page ?
