General Description

The goal is photometry of individual resolved stars in NGC5128, we therefore
 would like to have the counts in these stars be some significant fraction of the
 linearity limit of the detector.  However, the AO star is about 12 magnitudes brighter
 than the brightest stars we are interested in measuring.  Thus our exposure times
 have been chosen to keep the flux from the AO star below 4 x saturation.

The AO star is the brightest star in the field, with J=12.14, H=11.75, K=11.64 
 (according to the 2MASS PSC).

The science field dithers around the AO star using a 1 arcsecond box pattern.
The sky field is 18.76 arcmin to the east, and is observed in a 4 arcsecond box
 pattern.
The (o)bject and (s)ky fields alternate in the pattern:
  ss oooo ssss oooo ssss oooo ss
with DIT*NDIT=80 seconds/position.

We use pairs of GenericOffset templates for the sky and object dithers, returning
 to the origin after each.

If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation) ?

Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding Charts ?

Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view for each OB ?

Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages ?
