Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 12:00:00.000

General Description

• This is a wide field photometric program of three globular clusters. Photometry
   should be carried out in the U, V, R, I and Halpha bands for NGC 3201 and NGC 4372
   and in U, V, R and Halpha for NGC 2808.
  
  This observing run consists of 13 OBs, two for NGC 3201, two for NGC 4372, eight
   for NGC 2808 and a single one for a small amount of Halpha calibration (with all
   the reacquiring of targets necessary as the observations are split into short observing
   blocks, there is not time to do further Halpha calibration).  In order to maximise
   the scientific return, it would be helpful to finish all the OBs for one target
   before moving on to the next target.

Waiver Requests

• Waiver request submitted on the 14th July 2005 to submit two OBs that
   have an execution time of 1 hour 03 minutes 15 seconds, which exceeds the one hour
   limit stipulated  by ESO.
  
  Waiver request granted the same day.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• As noted in the observing constraints section of the OBs.

Time-Critical Aspects

• None

Special Execution Requirements

• None

Special Calibration Information

• A small amount of Halpha calibration (with all the reacquiring of targets
   necessary as the observations are split into short observing blocks, there is not
   time remaining in the allocated 12 hours to do further Halpha calibration) is requested.
    Ideally it should be done when the Halpha observations are carried out, at a similar
   airmass, however there are several OBs that contain Halpha observations of the three
   targets, so I doubt that this will be possible for all of the Halpha observations
   of the targets.
  
  The spectrophotometric standard is GD 108, it is of spectral type sdB and magnitude
   V = 13.56, B-V = -0.22.
