General Description

• This is a TOO/RRM program aimed at observing GRB afterglows with RRM
  and/or TOO.
  
  The OBs consist of 6 identical RRM OBs (RRM_img_1 to 6), a ToO imaging
  OB (ToO_img, to be used when the RRM OB could not be triggered), and
  one spectroscopy OB (ToO_followingRRM_lss).
  
  The RRM part will be activated automatically. At the same time we will
  send an alert email which will contain all vital information,
  including a DSS-2 finding chart.
  
  We request the night astronomer to try to identify a possible bright
  (mag~14-21) new target on the images (within 1-2 arc minutes of the
  field center), and if successful, to start the spectroscopy TOO OB
  from the A queue immediately after the RRM OB has finished (~20min).
  
  If the afterglow cannot be identified, normal operations can be
  resumed after the RRM OB has finished.
  
  Please make the data available as soon as possible, so members of our
  team can immediately inspect the images for an afterglow.  A
  subsequent RRM or TOO trigger may follow later on.

Waiver Requests

• Two Waiver Requests were submitted and approved:
  
  1) to allow for the ToO_followingRRM_lss OB to be longer than 1 hour
  
  2) to allow for the night astronomer to try and identify the afterglow,
  and if successful, to execute the ToO_followingRRM_lss OB from the queue.
