General Description

The observations are relatively straightforward. They simply cycle between
 the target and the sky. The target LAB-2, however, is much too faint to be seen
 on the acquistion images.
Acquistion will be done using the star U0900_20062681 (Rmag = 16.0 or about 11 mag
 in the K band according to 2MASS) and then a blind offset to the target.  The attached
 finding chart (3x3 arcmin) shows the DSS2 (red) view of the ACQ star and the target.
 The target is, of course, completely invisible on a DSS image. For illustration
 purposes I have attached a second 2x2 arcmin finding chart ('deep') that does show
 the target (and numerous other objects).

The coordinates used in the OB are those of the acq star. For completness the coordinates
 of the target LAB-2 are 22:17:39.0  +00:13:27.5. As the target is south west of
 the acq star  the offsets are 
delta_ra  = -38.1 arcsec 
delta_dec = -44.7 arcsec

The coordinates of the guide star given in acq-template are those of U0900_2006277
This is a 12th magnitude star at 1.73 arcmin from the target.

The jitter box is deliberately set to just 2 pixels wide as we don't want to sacrifice
 too much field-of-view.
