Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
c.f. 76C-296(A) We want spectrum of H_2/HII knot in Helix planetary nebula
and line of emission to North East. Knot is shown on finding chart which is HST
H-alpha image. Image shows 2" slit position. PA of slit should be 41 deg (E of
N); is this same as "Rotator offset angle" or negative? Knot should be positioned
in middle of Southern chip, i.e. pixel 1024. PN star is near southern end of slit.
Probably best to avoid getting star in slit. We want medium res. (Gr#8) spectrum
from Hbeta->Halpha->SII 6731. Spectrum 3 exposures (cosmic rays) + 2 exposure
OFF/SKY 7' to north (because whole area is full of emission). Note exposure estimator
did not include time for Sky exposures. I have guessed total time by first including
them in ON exposure and then moving to 2nd template. Offset for SKY is large; if
guiding is lost this is OK.

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 ?
