General Description

This programme is carried out as compensation for lost observing time
 with TIMMI2 at the ESO 3.6m telescope due to technical problems with the telescope
 dome. All OBs are defined to reach sensitivity limits similar to the ones predicted
 for TIMMI2. The acquisition can be made blindly according to the templates defined
 for the various OBs. We included finding charts using 2MASS images at Ks. Instructions
 as to how to find the targets are included in the finding charts as well. However,
 some of the "finding charts" are totally empty, i.e. without IR sources. Since more
 information is not available, we suggest to use the target position blindly. We
 defined blind offsets from the nominal source positions in order to correct for
 the chopping/nodding positions on the detector.

The two OBs with names containing "new" are replacing the two corresponding OBs
 previously defined. They comprise re-adjusted field centres avoiding strong MIR
 sources. They also use parallel chopping to avoid chopping into the bright source.

We only used 10 of the granted 12.5 hours of telescope time and shifted them to
 the project 77.C-0648(B).

Waiver Requests

We shifted 2.5 of the originally granted 12.5 hours of telescope time
 to the project 77.C-0648(B).
