Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This run aims at detecting faint galaxies which host GRBs using FORS 2
deep images in the R band.
Each OB consists of a set of 10 or 15 deep exposures amounting to approx. 50 min
total integration time. HR collimator is used. Care has been taken to avoid stars
brighter than R = 13 inside the FoV by displacing its center from the real target,
and/or rotating it. In every finding chart both the required FoV and the target
were plotted. In every OB the Target RA and Dec. given are those of the center of
the required field. In the cases were stars with R < 13 inside the FoV could
not be avoided, they were clearly identified and their R magnitude informed in the
corresponding finding charts. In some cases the exposure time of individual frames
was decreased for this reason.
Waiver Requests
Critical Observing Condition Constraints
Given the faintness of the targets (R > 21), all the constraints requested
are critical (maximum airmass = 1.6, lunar illumination = 0.0, photometric sky and
1.0 arcsec maximum seeing).

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 prepared your finding charts with tools other than FIMS,
do they comply with the specifications on the FORS1 Phase 2 web page ?
