Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Highest resolution R~220000
The central wavelength should be 869.4 nm.
As the central wavelength is quite far out in the infrared we expect a lot
of fringing pattern. In order to optimize the reductions and to minimize the residuals
from this fringing we will observe fast rotating O/B stars.
All our primary targets have OB names WITHOUT an "_OBSTAR" extension.
To each primary target we have assigned a fast rotating O/B star observing block.
These observing blocks have the same name as the primary targets observing
blocks but WITH an "_OBSTAR" extension. These should be carried out directly
before or after the primary target observing block.
For example: the "T01_OBSTAR" observing block should be executed right before or
right after the "T01" observing block.
In a few cases we have multiple observing blocks for the same targets, e.g. "T07_1"
and "T07_2".
If these should be scheduled for the same night it is not necessary to first observe
"T07_1" then
"T07_1_OBSTAR" then "T07_2" and then "T07_2_OBSTAR". Instead you could just execute
"T07_1" and
"T07_2" and once those are finished execute "T07_1_OBSTAR" and "T07_2_OBSTAR".

Special Execution Requirements
The observing blocks whose names ends with "_OBSTAR" should be executed
right before
or after the primary observing blocks (i.e. those without the "_OBSTAR" extension),
e.g. "T08_OBSTAR" should be executed right before or right after observing block
"T08".

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 ?
