General Description

This is an easy near-infrared imaging programme which use ISAAC capabilities.
The final aim of the programme is the caracterization of the preMS in the SMC star
 cluster NGC 346, and the determination of the circummstellar discks frequency around
 these sources.
Our proposed nearIR study will also reveal a new generation of stars forming in
 the Bok globules surrounding NGC 346.

Three ISAAC set-ups are used for observations in Js, H, and Ks bands. For each band
 four different pointing are necesary to cover the entire region. A total of 15 OBs
 with an overall execution time of 14 hours have been submitted.
