General Description

General Overview
----------------
This is a survey project to image an area of several square degrees. For each 
pointing we need a short image (which does not saturate brighter stars) and
a dithered sequence of 5 images of 500 sec each.

To ensure accurate pointing we use move-to-gap and supply pixel coordinates
on the real-time-display for a selected moderately bright star close to the 
array center. The center is assumed to be at pixel coordinates [4289, 4126]. 
The star is marked on the finding chart by an orange circle and the 
corresponding pixel coordinates are given at the bottom of the finding chart.
Magnitudes of the alignment stars are also given.
An accuracy of +/- 10 pixels is sufficient for the alignment!

To obtain the required total integration time we provide OBs which are identical
and named with extensions a, b, c, d to distinguish them. For all versions the 
object coordinates are the same. After acquisition of OBs b and higher therefore
the short exposure is offsetting the telescope by small amounts without
returning to the origin.

For relative calibration in B and R short exposures are included pointing at the
 intersection of a 2x2 mosaic for each of our 1square degree mosaics.
