General Description

These are observations to fill in UV-points missed during a large service/visitor
 mode run during Oct/Nov 2005.  The target has been observed many times before with
 MIDI and target acquisition and fringe finding/tracking are not difficult, although
 the target is below the official MIDI service mode limit in correlated flux for
 GRISM mode.  It is important to
get the source as early as possible after it rises above the 30 degree limit.  This
occurs at HA=-3h46m or LST ~22h55m.  The target is a spiral seyfert galaxy with
 a bright
AGN core.  There are two finding charts: N.jpg shows a Sky Survey image of the galaxy
 with surrounding stars.  NGC1068acqMIDI.jpg shows the AGN nucleus as seen through
 the
MIDI acquisition images with the N8.7 filter.

The calibrator has been observed many times before and is easy to acquire and track.

Time-Critical Aspects

The observation must be scheduled so that the specified LST/HA constraints
 can be
met, i.e. not too late in the season.
