General Description

This programme aims at performing spectrophotometry of small regions suspected
 of containing massive YSOs: to detect the embedded YSOs and characterise the immediate
 physical conditions.

The finder charts for each target have indicated the (approximate) field centre,
 at the first chop position. The finder chart images are 8 micron IRAC/Spitzer images.
 It is not known how the images will look like in the VISIR narrow band filters at
 much higher spatial resolution.

The telescope angle (tel.rot.offangle) is generally different from the chop angle
 (tel.chop.posangle). This is intentional to overcome the complexity of the local
 environment and make sure the desired region is properly imaged.

Each target is observed in 4 OBs; the 4 OBs for each target are linked using the
 priority settings. It is preferable to complete the 4 OB set for fewer targets than
 observe all targets incompletely. 

Guide stars have been included in the OBs to make sure that all observations of
 the same target are done with the same guide star. The guide stars are the brightest
 star (generally brighter than 13 mag), closest to field center (within a few arcmins)
 not affected by vignetting.
