Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
MOS observations of the hosts of two SNe candidates that have now faded
from view and of a new
candidate that will soon be at maximum light.
Three MOS OBs (226119, 226120 and 226121) together with one standard (226116) have
been submitted.
The standard is at 20hrs whereas the MOS target is at 22 hours. You may find it
more convenient
to do the standard first and the MOS. The standard is LTT 7987. Since this regularly
used for FORS2,
you can use the finding chart that is in the control room.

Special Calibration Information
Since we'll be working at wavelengths greater than 8000 Angstroms,
removal of the strong telluric absorption feature at 9300 Angstroms
will be important.
For this reason we have also submit OBs to observe
spectrophotometric standards with the 1" slit. These standards should
be observed after the science target has been observed.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
If you have prepared your finding charts with tools other than FIMS,
do they comply with the specifications on the FORS2 Phase 2 web page ?
