General Description
This is a program to derive colour-magnitude diagrams for three open clusters:
Biu 11, Biu 13, and Ber 36 in decreasing order of importance.
We require BVI observations (short/medium/long in each filter) for
1) a field centered on the cluster (repeated twice, at PA=0 and =90 deg for Biu
11 and Biu 13, only once with PA=0 for Ber 36);
2) one field near to each cluster (at about 30 arcmin, taken only with PA=0 deg).
Magnitudes have to be calibrated to the standard photometric system, so we require
PHOT conditions.
We ask to finish with one cluster (central(s)+external field) before beginning with
the next one, in order of decreasing priority.
We wish to add to the standard calibration plan another standard area (SA98), that
has to be taken near our science OB; one area is enough if more than one science
OB is executed on same night, but we put in enough OBs to cover the possibility
that only 1 single OB per night is executed.
All finding charts are 5.5'x5.5

Special Execution Requirements
We require to finish with one cluster (Biurakan 11 first, then Biurakan
13, and last Berkeley 36) before beginning with another one.
Priority:
1- Biurakan_11_a, Biurakan_11_b, Biurakan_11_EXT (with an extra exposure on SA98
each separate night)
2- Biurakan_13_a, Biurakan_13_b, Biurakan_13_EXT (with an extra exposure on SA98
each separate night)
3- Berkeley_36, Berkeley_36_EXT (with an extra exposure on SA98 each separate night)
Special Calibration Information
We wish to add to the standard calibration plan another standard area
(SA98), that has to be taken near our science OB; one area is enough if more than
one science OB is executed on same night, but we put in enough OBs to cover the
possibility that only 1 single OB per night is executed.
V, B-V for all 7 standard stars in the chosen 5.5'x5.5' field are listed under "user

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
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 ?
