General Description

The aim of this program is to obatin photometric imaging of 22 AGN, using
 the high angular resolution capability of VISIR.


The provided finding charts are 2MASS atlas images at 2.2 microns with our science
 targets marked by coloured circles. Our targets are all AGN and thus the brightest
 sources in the FOV of VISIR when centered on the given coordinates. Furthermore
 they can be identified by being situated in the geometrical center of their respective
 host galaxy.


Please note that the coordinates given for NGC 1097 slightly differ from those given
 in NED or SIMBAD. This is because the latter are actually inaccurate as a visual
 inspection of both the 2MASS and SDSS atlases revealed. With the coordinates given
 in the OB, acquisition of NGC 1097 should be possible without any problems.

Waiver Requests

Waiver request 077.B-0137A.01 to have 5 OBs with duration of 1h15min in
 order to obatin a better S/N for those 5 sources for which we expect very little
 contrast between the extended and the nuclear emission in the mid IR. 

The waiver request was granted.
