General Description

The aim of this programme is obtaining near-IR imaging in JHK and narrow
 filters of several embedded clusters seen in an area of star formation. We want
 to obtain photometry in JHK. The observations have been separated into three groups.
 Each group consists of three OBs, one in each band. The first group Twoclusters
 intends to observe the open clusters Haffner 18 and Haffner 19, with an empty piece
 of sky in between. The second group Twofields, does the same for the field of the
 embedded cluster G243 and the area to the North of the region. Finally, Southfield
 observes a single field around an IRAS source and a patch of nearby sky.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

We would like the observations to be conducted in photometric conditions
 and standards to be observed for photometry. We haven't requested specially good
 seeing, so these conditions are likely to be met. However, if the end of the semester
 is coming and the observations have not been executed, we could settle for CLEAR
 sky, as we can use 2MASS data for calibration.
