Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This programme aims at finding Ly-alpha emiting objects in the vicinity
of strongly star-forming QSOs, which also show overdensities of submillimetre sources
in their vicinities.
We have concentrated on one of the two targets in the proposal, in order to reach
a total exposure time of about 3h45m.
The submitted OBs are all very similar: 2x992s exposures in a 5-point dithering
pattern. Each OB includes 2 out of the 5 points in the pattern. The priorities assigned
to each OB only reflect the order of the dithering for maximum uniformity of the
coverage.
The finding charts are all identical, except for the name of the OB. The dashed-line
square shows the continuously covered FOV, taking into account the dithering pattern.
We have shifted the centre of the FOV ~10arcsec to the SE of the proposal target,
to include a second bright optical source (for field registering), and to cover
as many of the submm sources as possible.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
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 ?
Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam
?
Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for all the offset
positions and that they do not produce unacceptable vignetting of the field of view
?
