Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This run consists of 3 OBs which aim at simple Ks band imaging of the
core of 47Tuc.
The aim is to test the photometric performance in the field of a detached eclipsing
binary. since
the field is crowded we will use these data to estimate the quality of the photometry
we can obtain
with NACO.
The indicated field has center coordinates : 00 24 09.40 -72 05 37.0
The primary target has coordinates: 00 24 08.30 -72 05 35.0
This is done by observing on 3 different nights.
There is no strong requirements on the timegap between the OBs, but it would be
desirable that
the gab between OBs is not a multiple of 5days (The period of the binary is 4.92
days).
The brightest object in the field has K=8.8 (this is valid for all the OBs).
The field does not need to be centered on the primary target, and if
needed can be moved for further opitmization of the field (we leave this to the
Observatory staff to
decide).

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 PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with
PSF_ ?
If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view
of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation)
?
Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects
R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding
Charts ?
Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view
for each OB ?
Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which
are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages
?
If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification
for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
