General Description
MXU (OBs= MXU_NGC45_GC1-L-N, N=0,1,2...5)
We intend to observe a single field with a single MXU mask for ~6.5 h (split into
7 OBs), in a single set-up: Grism 600B.
MXU targets are around V=20-22.
4 Finding charts attached: Galaxy (no MXU), galaxy plus MXU, zoom in to the galaxy
center plus MXU, zoom in to the outer part including reference targets plus MXU
mask.
Each OB (except the last) includes 3 science exposures of 20 min each, offset along
the slit by 0.25'' (in the Y CCD direction).
Standard lick (OBs = Cal_LickHD.....)
The acquisition images for the standrads are taken in the He+53 filter. The standard
stars are very bright - none of them should be saturated during the acq according
to the exposure time calculator, but some of them are close to the limit.
Standards star are taken in LSS mode, otherwise the set-up is identical to the science
observations. Given their brightness, they can (should) be observed through cirrus.

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 ?
