General Description

This is a simple program requiring observations of bright targets in THIN
 and THICK
conditions. As our targets are bright and the 
observations will be performed in conditions with variable seeing, we 
would like to ask the night astronomer to take special care that the spectra 
do not get saturated if weather conditions are improving during the exposure. 

The same target should not be observed more than once per night. For a few targets
 we ask to observe with both DIC1 and DIC2 settings. These OBs are very short and
 should be executed one after the other in the same night. 

Since all targets are very bright, finding charts are attached only for a few targets
 if
there is another star in the field of view.

Please mind the priority of the targets indicated in the OBs.

Waiver Requests

Waiver Request 076.D-0169A.01 was submitted and granted on July 7 to allow
late submission of phase 2 material.
Waiver Request 076.D-0169.02 was submitted and granted on August 10 to allow
the use of the setting DIC1 346+580 and to skip the submission of finding 
charts for most of targets.
