Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is a plain spectroscopic programme with fors2-MXU. There are 2 mask
designs.
Each mask design includes all the main targets described in time request, i.e. primary
targets are always included in the mask, in order to cumulate the maximum exposure
time.
The rest of the field is completed with secondary targets. Some of these secondary
targets (mainly located on the peripheral regions) have been changed between the
2 mask designs, in order to increase the number of sources surveyed, and thus to
optimize the outcome.
Priority is given to the first set (see "User Priority" in OBs).
Given the faintness of the main targets (we are looking for emission lines), there
is no hope to see them in the acquisition "through-slit" image. However, some (5)
bright objects have been selected to allow a check of centering through the slits
(1000 to 10000 ADU foreseen in 30s).
The images used with fims where obtained with fors2 through z filter. They were
combined (shift+add) after use of fsosaic. astrometric solution has been computed
on this combined image using usno catalog.

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 ?
