Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 5:59:11 per each alternative run (xa/xas, xb/xbs or xd/xds)

General Description

• Photometry and spectroccopy of the TNO 2002AW197.
  The pre-imaging run A must be scheduled before these OBs.
  Those pre-images will serve to safely identify the moving target during the conjunction
   night.
  The order of each OB is mandatory (see time intervals in each OB) to get both our
   science and 
  calibration targets at the right airmass and also in order to monitor the right
   portion of the 
  surface of the TNO.
  This RUN C is actually sequence of three alternative sub run (12/23/05 ((night of
   22 to 23)) or 
  01/05/2006 ((night of 04 to 05)) or 02/27/2006 ((night of 26 to 27)) ). 
  These dates correspond to the three alternative stellar conjunction with 2002AW197.
   The first 
  alternative (12/23/05) is our prefered one. Then the other alternative should be
   tried if the 
  first one could not be performed.

Waiver Requests

• 076.C-0801B & C.01.WAV APPROVEDS 
  
  "Finally I received the approval for your waiver request.
  
  What will happen is the following:
  
  Unless there is an A-ranked program which cannot otherwise be completed,
  your programs will be executed on the required dates, if observing
  conditions are within your constraints."

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• We need at least clear conditions for photometry and spectroscopy
  Tracking table was made with offsets differences equal to coordinates of: (reference
   star) - (moving target)

Time-Critical Aspects

• Our OBs must be executed at indicated date during the stellar conjunction
   night.
  Our OBs must also be executed within specific time interval and specific sequence.
  Three nigts are possible and we use three sets of OBs in this run as asked by the
   
  ESO User Support Department: "Please, do submit three sets of OBs, tuned to the
   
  different slots where the observations might be possible. That is fine from our
   
  side, and we will cancel the not-used OBs appropriately once the window of 
  opportunity has passed or the observations carried out successfully."
  the last letters of the OBs determine the alternative sub-run a (with a and as)
   b (with b and bs) 
  and d (with d and ds)
  
  The schedule of the sequence is (UT TIME):
  Case of the night of 12/23/2005 (night of 22 to 23):
  Flexibility of the schedule is about 10-15 min per each OB.
  If these 10-15 minutes are run out, stop the OB and start the next.

Special Execution Requirements

• In case of problem in the completion of this run, preference should be
   given to the spectrocopic OBS 
  (both science and calibration).
  For the night of 12/23/2005, make sure do not include the star for AO in the slit
   (less than 6" of the target)
  All the spectroscopic calibrator were checked (no binaries)

Special Calibration Information

• We have submitted OBs for photometric calibration and spectrocopic analogs.
  Photometric calibration permit us to perform best photometric measurements in the
   case where the night is not 
  photometric (e.g: clear sky condition).
  The order and timing of each calibration OB is mandatory to monitor the science
   target in the same weather 
  conditions.
