General Description

Star formation at low metallicity: the morphology of young stellar objects
 in the SMC
=====================================================================================

Simple point-and-shoot imaging in Js and Ks of a small field (several arcsec) around
 a compact red source (position marked in the findercharts by a circle) from the
 Spitzer survey (S3MC). The aim is to (1) identify the near-infrared counterpart,
 (2) obtain photometry at Js and Ks for it, and (3) check whether the source is multiple
 or diffuse.

Large field is chosen for large area coverage (benefits photometric calibration
 and serendipitous science). DITs are 5 sec and 4 sec for Js and Ks, respectively.
 Finder charts cover the inner 2'x2' centred on the target.

We aim for Js=21 and Ks=19 at S/N=10. Calibration is possible against catalogued
 2MASS sources in the fields (i.e. no special standard star measurements are required).

Priorities are based upon target selection for other observing runs.
