Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

General Description

This program seeks to obtain IFU spectra of E+A galaxies selected from
 the 2dF redshift survey. The objects are at z=~0.1 and thus rather small, e.g.,
 10" across. In spectroscopy we estimate to detect an even smaller area, e.g., 3"
 diameter. The VIMOS IFU is used with the HR_blue grism, and 0.33 arcsec sampling
 giving a total FoV of 13"x13".

In total there are 8 different targets. For each target we have 2 OBs (1h31min total
 execution time per OB) with slightly dithered positions. Only exception is E+A_8p76
 with 3 OBs. 

The RA of the targets will mainly determine the sequence of execution. In case of
 multiple target availability we have assigned priorities ranging from 1-8. 1 has
 the highest priority. Please always finish a set of OBs for one target before starting
 another object.

The object location is indicated with a box corresponding to the FoV of VIMOS (13"x13")
 on the finding charts.

Waiver Requests

A waiver request to extent the OB execution time to 1h31min was granted.

Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam ?

```
N/A
```
