Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 101h53min

General Description

• The aim of the observations is to detect extra-solar planets with the
   transit method. Only one  field toward the spiral arms during the ntire run will
   be observed in the R filter with exposure times of 720 sec. The Obs blocks are about
   about 59 min, containing 4 exposures.  The field should be taken with airmass<2.
   Thus it will be visible with this constraint from the beginning of the night until
   approximately 2 am. 
  
  About 2 hours of the entire run are dedicated to different filters-V,B,I-for calibration
   purposes. Three images of each filter should be taken on a photometric night with
   seeing<1 arcsec, airmass<1.3, and during dark time. The Obs blocks for these
   observations contain only one exposure.  
  
  Sky Flat fields should be taken if possible each dawn/sunset in the R filter. 
  
  Sky Flat fields for V,B,I are also requested once (3 times each filter).     
  
  Dome Flats for all filters, V,B,R,I are requested once (3 times for each filter).
     
  
  Darks and Biases should also be taken once (10 times each).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• The field should be taken with airmass<2. Thus it will be visible with
   this constraint from the beginning of the night until approximately 2 am. 
  
  
  About 2 hours of the entire run are dedicated to different filters-V,B,I-for calibration
   purposes. Three images of each of these filters should be taken on a photometric
   night with seeing<1 arcsec, airmass<1.3, and during dark time. The Obs blocks
   for these observations contain only one exposure.
