General Description
This is an FORS2 MXU program to obtain redshifts of faint/red galaxies
in an X-ray cluster at z=1.4 (Mullis et al. 2005 ApJ, 623, L85). There are 2 masks.
Each mask consists of 4 OBs which differ only by a 1-2 pixel shift along the slits.
Each OB is made of 3 dithered exposures with 1.5 arcsec steps.
Objects are generally too faint to be seen in the thru-slit, however a few (relatively)
bright objects have been placed on typically short slits to facilitate the thru-slit
check.
The masks were designed on a FORS2 z-band image (8 min total exposure) which has
been astrometrically calibrated with an accuracy of ~0.1 arcsec rms accuracy (using
GSC2 and HST-ACS images).

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 ?
