Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 6 hours

General Description

• The purpose of this run is obtaining high precision photometry of the
   young open cluster Pismis 11. The cluster has to be observed through the standard
   UBVRI filters. There are short, intermediate and long exposures defined, so that
   the whole range of magnitudes is covered.
  Ideally, we would like all the observations to be carried out during the same night
   with a standard field observed at several different airmasses. However, we understand
   that this cannot be guaranteed with service observations. We provide 8 OBs for extra
   observations of standards. This is a single Landolt field that we would like to
   have observed whenever our objects are observed.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• There are only two fields. The main part of the target and a small grouping
   of stars to the North of the cluster (two OBs starting Northcluster). These two
   OBs have lower priority than the rest. Ideally, we would like all the OBs called
   Pismis11 executed during the same night with frequent observations of the standard
   field SA101. The reason for this is that, in order to obtain high precision photometry,
   very good treatment of the extinction is needed. In ideal circumstances, we would
   have the 3 hours on target done in a single night and 4-5 observations of SA110
   covering airmasses from ~2 to ~1.1. The OBs called Northcluster could be done during
   another night with the remaining SA101 OBs.
  If this is not possible, we would like to have ALWAYS at least one SA101 observation
   each night

Time-Critical Aspects

• None

Special Execution Requirements

• Ideally, all OBs with name Pismis 11 done in one night and 4-5 observations
   of SA110 at different airmasses. At least, try to make them in as few nights as
   possible.
  In the worse case scenario, we'd have one science OB observed in each different
   night. If this is the case, please attach one SA110 OB to each science OB.
  If several science OBs are done in one night, please at least bracket them within
   two SA110 OBs. If more than 2 science OBs are done in one night, please take no
   less than two SA110 observations covering a range of airmasses.

Special Calibration Information

• Eight OBs of SA110 are provided as extra calibration. This is not so much
   for the number of Landolt standards as for the need to trace the extinction well.
   Please try to cover as much as possible in airmass with the SA110 OBs - fundamentally
   the range in airmass covered by the science OBs. If you use up all the SA110 OBs
   with the Pismis11 OBs, then take only standard calibration with the NorthCluster
   OBs.
