Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 3 hours

General Description

• The observations requested are both in imaging mode and spectroscopic
  mode for the same target, the Centaur (60558) 2000 EC98. This Centaur
  presents an outburst that we want to analyse by spectroscopy and 
  images.
  
  The spectroscopy can be done at any moment, but the sooner is the
  better, because of the decrease of the outburst. The images 
  (2 OBs, labelled ToO_MOV_2000EC98_img-night1 and -2) must be obtaine with, 
  at least, 7 days of interval, because we plan to detect the apparent motion 
  of the dust to measure its velocity and we need enough time to detect 
  its displacement inside the coma.
  
  There are two OBs (ToO_MOV_PRE_ prefix_2000EC98-1 and 2) which are
  done to detect the target by its motion, they must be executed 
  just before the spectroscopic OBs in order to center the slit at
  the right place.
  
  The slit must be aligned with the motion of the target (i.e. roughly
  with a P.A. of 300 degree for the ephemeris, or westward, it must
  correspond to 60 deg for the FORS OBs).
  
  If you have any questions send an email, I will check them frequently, even during
  this week-end!

Time-Critical Aspects

• The spectroscopy can be done at any moment, but the sooner is the
  better, because of the decrease of the outburst. 
  
  The images (2 OBs, labelled ToO_MOV_2000EC98_img-night1 and -2) must be obtaine
   with, 
  at least, 7 days of interval, because we plan to detect the apparent motion 
  of the dust to measure its velocity and we need enough time to detect 
  its displacement inside the coma.
  
  Take care to the coming full moon ! The target will not be observable for about
  9 nights (about Feb. 13-22).

Special Execution Requirements

• There are two OBs (ToO_MOV_PRE_ prefix_2000EC98-1 and 2) which are
  done to detect the target by its motion, they must be executed 
  just before the spectroscopic OBs in order to center the slit at
  the right place.
