General Description

• Summary:
  Imaging of nearby AGN in N-band (PAH2_2) and Q-band (Q2 filter). 1 OB / target /
   band (3 for Q-band of M87) + 1 photometric+PSF standard OB / target / band. The
   pixel scale is 0.075"/px
  
  Photometric/PSF standard stars:
  One PSF/photometric standard per target per band. The stars have been selected from
   Cohen's list of mid-IR standard stars. A photometric standard should be  observed
   immediately before or science the science OB(s) - the name of the relevant calibration
   OB is indicated also in user comments.

  Positions angles:
  All OBs use TEL.ROT.OFFANGLE = 0 except M87_Q-jet (and CAL_M87_Q-jet), which are
   rotated to align the jet (PA=-66)  with the array. Furthermore, the target coordinates
   in this OB are changed to keep three of the parallel chop-nod beams within the FOV.
  TEL.TARG.OFFSETALPHA/DELTA is used in CAL_M87_Q-jet to replicate the same configuration
  
  Chopping/Nodding:
  Both Parallel and Perpendicular modes are used, depending on the object. Photometric/PSF
   standard stars use the same configuration as the science targets. When perpendicular
   mode is used, all four beams are kept within the FOV. In parallel mode, only the
   centermost beam (effective two centermost beams, which are visible as one) is kept
   in FOV. In the OB M87_Q-jet, parallel mode is used and two of the three beams are
   kept within the FOV. Indentical configuration is used in standard star CAL M87_Q-jet
  
  Acquisition:
  For acquisition, PAH2_2 filter is being used regardless of the filter to be used
   for the observations.
  N4594_N, M87_N, M87_Q-0, M87_Q-1 and M87_Q-jet use blind acquisition. For the rest
   of the OBs, finding charts are provided. Finding charts are either NACO L-band or
   K-band, or seeing limited K-band observations. The object is always the brightest
   source within the field, and in most cases no other sources are expected to be visible.
  N1097_Q: the ring may be faintly detected even in short integrations. The target
   (=the nucleus of the galaxy)  is likely to be much brighter than the starforming
   complexes in the ring
  N1566_N/Q: the star north of the nucleus may be visible - the target (=the nucleus
   of the galaxy) is much brighter (0.5 Jy?) and in south
