General Description
These are narrow line filter images of the nucleus of AGN NGC1068. They
are BOTH SCIENCE images in order to determine strength and location of N-band line
emission, and ALSO PRE-IMAGING images to determine slit position for 076.B-0743(E):
VM VISIR slit spectroscopy, scheduled 15 Dec. I have marked Obs. Category=PRE-IMAGING
in OBs. The scientific purpose is to get images in NeII, ArIII and two PAH lines,
plus off-line continuum images using SIV_2 and NEII_2 and SIC filters. The 1st
Finding Chart shows B-band image which is slightly burned out; the nucleus that
should be centered in VISIR image is in fact much brighter than appears here. The
2nd finding chart shows N-band image of nucleus as seen in acquisition image of
MIDI, the orientation is not correct, but extension is essentially North-South.

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 ?
If the provided finding chart is at a different wavelength than the observations,
did you clearly describe in the README file how to identify the target?
Did you specify a guide star brighter than V=12mag within a field of
r=5arcmin around the science target?
