Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Photometry and spectroscopy of moving target (check the ephemeris). Each
science goal is given with a calibrator which must be performed just after the science
OB at the same airmass. We inform that we request simultaneous observations between
the FORS (176.C-0036(A)), ISAAC (178.C-0036(B)) and SINFONI (178.C-0036(J)) runs
for each object (2000 GN171 and Chariklo). Simultaneous is acceptable within few
hours The observation with FORS can confirm the good ephemeris of the science target,
which is, in general, in the center of FOV. For each object we have one photometric
and one spectroscopic run (with respectively one photometric and one spectroscopic
OBs for calibration) in the case of FORS runs. Each analog star can be used after
the observation of each target. We request to the astronomer to choose the calibrator
for the spectroscopy with the nearest airmass.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints
Time-Critical Aspects
Special Execution Requirements
We require simultaneous FORS, ISAAC and SINFONI observations and particularly
to have similar airmass between our science target and the calibration target (solar
analog, HD107998 or HD140735). We give two analog stars. Each analog star can be
used after the observation of each target. We request to the astronomer to choose
the calibrator with the nearest airmass

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 prepared your finding charts with tools other than FIMS,
do they comply with the specifications on the FORS1 Phase 2 web page ?
