General Description

• This program is a deep multi-filter survey of the star forming region
   ChaI. 
  Run B, carried out with SOFI, is the near-infrared part of the survey using the
  filters J and K. (The optical part is carried out with VIMOS at VLT in
  run A.) We intend to observe four fields around the main cores of the
  ChaI region. For each field, we have created one OB, which contains all 
  observations for this field. The images in J and K are obtained in a 
  AutoJitterArray pattern, created in a way to cover the field of view of the
  VIMOS mosaic. The aim is to cover the same field in the optical and the 
  near-infrared.
  
  The pattern starts at the central position in the VIMOS mosaic and offsets 
  to the positions of the four VIMOS chips. Four SOFI fields and thus four
  array positions are required to cover the area of one VIMOS chip. Around each 
  array position, a four position jitter pattern is carried out. This gives in 
  total 16 array positions.
  
  For each field and thus OB, we provide two finding charts:
  a) The VIMOS finding chart based on DSS, showing in green the VIMOS field.
  b) a 5' size 2MASS J-band image showing the region around the central
  coordinates.

Waiver Requests

• The waiver 078.C-0049A.01.WAV has been submitted on Jul 25 and granted
   on July 26. According
  to the waiver request, we are allowed to define OBs which have need up to 1.5 hours
   for 
  execution. This allows us to carry out all observations for a particular field in
   the same 
  OB, and thus in the same observing night, which avoids calibration issues in the
   photometry.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Conditions should be photometric, seeing less than 1.2".
