General Description

This program aims at obtaining spectroscopic measurements in K band of
 newly discovered binaries.
For each OB, 2 components must be put in the slit.

This is our second epoch observation of these binaries. The position angle of the
 slit has been set 
according to our first measurements. If the objects PA has changed, please adjust
 to really put both 
objects in the slit.

Since the primary is bright, the acquisition is done with the neutral density filter.
NDIT has been set so that the companion is easily visible in DIT*NDIT 
==> no need to remove the neutral density.

For the spectra, DIT & NDIT have been set as well so that the spectrum of the
 primary is *within*  
the linear range of the detector (all OBs taken in Double_RdRstRd). Please check
 that the linearity 
range is not exceeded.

For most OBs at least 2 finding charts are provided:
- the normnal 2x2' FOV, images coming from the 2MASS K band survey
 (small crosses are artefacts of detection from the 2MASS survey)
- a NACO image obtained one year ago.

The main target is always the brightest source in the FOV. DITs have been set to
 avoid any non linear range data.
Only in the case of HD53244 will the acquisition exceed to linearity range but not
 the saturation level.

If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation) ?

Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding Charts ?

Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view for each OB ?

Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages ?

If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
