Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This run aims at obtaining broad-band (JHKsL') and narrowband (2.12, 2.17
microns) imaging of the cluster embedded in the HII region IRAS16362-4845. Given
the colors of the objects of interest, the goal is to reach deep in J and to have
a good dynamic range in H, Ks. The dichroic and readout modes have been chosen accordingly.
The L' band imaging is done using normal jitter, rather than chopping and nodding.
The L27 camera (as opposed to the S54 camera used for shorter wavelenght imaging)
is used in LW.
The field is pervaded by bright nebulosity and it is thus necessary to take separate
sky exposures, hence the use of the AutoJitter_Offset template.
The reference star is the brightest star in the cluster, which lies at the center
of the field to be imaged, and has Ks=8.356. It is also the brightest star in the
field. Should this star prove unsuitable, two backup stars with magnitudes 9.074
and 9.529 respectively are also provided.
Moderate saturation for the brightest stars in the field is not a problem.
Please note the higher priority of the broad-band images. If possible, execute the
narrow-band imaging only after the broad-band part has been completed.

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 PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with
PSF_ ?
If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view
of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation)
?
Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects
R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding
Charts ?
Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view
for each OB ?
Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which
are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages
?
If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification
for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
