General Description

The main target for run E is the KBO 2002 VE95, a 200 km sized KBO.

Waiver Requests

Waiver for ObsBlocks > 65 min -- 078.C-0426A.01.WAV

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

This KBO never gets closer than 100" to a star brighter than 12th magnitude.

Time-Critical Aspects

Observations of the solar analog star should be within 10% of the observed
 min. and max. airmass for the target. That is, for example, if the target observations
 are made between 1.8 and 1.3, there should be one set of solar analog star observations
 anywhere between 1.98 and 1.62, and another set anywhere between 1.43 and 1.17.
 If at all possible, it is best to begin the observation session with the solar analog,
 then observe the main target, and then back to the solar analog when done.

Special Execution Requirements

If possible, please observe in the order std star, target, std star to
 maximize the time spent on the main target. 

RA, Dec, their rates, Airmass, V band magnitude and  Position angle are listed in
 the ephemeris. The RA and Dec are given in in 2000 epoch, the rates are arcsec/second
 where the RA is also multiplied by cos(dec) and the position angle is in degrees
 defined 0 at north, increasing toward E.

Special Calibration Information

Observations of a solar analog star are included.
