Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

```
6.0
```

General Description

LMC X-1 nebula, four pointings with 27" IFU field.
We supply 4 finding charts manufactured with Skycat/DSS.
Each finding chart is 6' in size, one of the limited options
(0.1 deg) supplied by Skycat, and shows the IFU field of 
view. The finding chart is named according to its position.

For each pointing, I need three images so as to remove
cosmic rays. I have not dithered the field of view since
the pointing is quite tight. I guess a small amount would
be ok but I have not requested it.

The total execution time is equal to what I was granted.

Waiver Requests

A waiver was requested on 10 Aug 2005,
and was granted on 11 Aug 2005.

I can reduce the total execution time to
5.0 hours if I allow the OBs to go to 1:16.
If I try to reduce the OBs to 1:00, then I
need 8 OBs rather than 4 OBs, and the overheads
lead to a total observing programme of 7.0 hours.

On this basis, the waiver was granted by 
Martino Romaniello of the User Support Dept.
