General Description

Dear observer

This program is aimed at obtaining spctra of different stellar populations in the
 outer parts of the Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy. Our analysis will combine different
 spectral settings on the same target list of objects to measure stellar parameters.
We do not need photometric conditions, however seeking for good S/N on faint objects
 seeing can be important. Anyway since SMC never reach low airmasses it would be
 nice if observations are alwaays performed during the meridian passage.

The target stars list have been astrometrized from a WFI image aginst the UCAC2
 system. The Guide
and Fiducial stars are on the same UCAC2 system. We verified that the accuracy of
 the guide/target
astrometry difference is better than 0.2 arcsec rms. No offsets should be present.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

We do NOT need the night to be photometric.
It is enough that it is CLEAR.

Given the coordinates of our target field, we relaxed our seeing observing
constraint to 1.8 arcsec, and the airmass up to 2.0
