General Description

• Pre-imaging for MOS observations on January 26, 2006 will be adquired
   in 
  these observations.
  THEREFORE THESE IMAGING SHOULD BE ACQUIRED MUCH IN ADVANCE SUCH A DATE.
  
  Two OB have been prepared:
  1) OB 204405, named PRE-N3109-E, is for obtaining an image centered at 
  10:03:20.00, -26:09:32
  The finding chart 076.B-0166A.0001.jpg has been attached showing the 
  field to be observed. The center of this field correspond to the coordinates 
  given above. The chart dimensions are 10x10 arcmin.
  No target has been marked as THE CENTER OF THE FIELD IS THE TARGET.
  
  2) OB 204406, named PRE-N3109-W, is for obtaining an image centered at 
  10:02:55.00, -26:09:32
  The finding chart 076.B-0166A.0002.jpg has been attached showing the field 
  to be observed. The center of this field correspond to the coordinates given 
  above. The chart dimensions are 10x10 arcmin.
  No target has been marked as THE CENTER OF THE FIELD IS THE TARGET.
  
  To take advantage of these observations, three filters are employed: 
  Filt_500-5+85, OIII/6000_52 (continuum for [OIII]5007) and r_GUNN+41
  The two interference filters were allowed.

Waiver Requests

• Waiver Request for allowing three interference filters was submitted and
   rejected.
  Only two interference filters were allowed.
  Therefore, I have chosen two interference filters (FILT_500_5+85, OIII/6000+52)
   and 
  one standard filter (r_GUNN+41) for the two pre-imaging OBs.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• The imaging should be good enough for an accurate astrometry of the objects
  to be centered in a slit of 1''.
  Seeing better or equal  0.8 arcsec is necessary.
  We want to detect some difuse objects (PNe and HII regions), therefore the moon
   
  should not be brighter than 0.4.

Time-Critical Aspects

• The MOS run is programed in visitor mode for 2006 January 26, then the
   pre-imaging
  is required much in advance this date, in order to prepare the masks.
  These pre-imaging should be performed preferentially no after November 30, 2005.
