General Description

• This run aims at obtaining high resolution (R~50000) and high S/N (~200)
  spectra of a series of giant stars in 13 open clusters. In each cluster we
  selected 3 giants that are not spectroscopic binaries, rotate slowly, and do 
  not show clear radial-velocity variations due to pulsation. These will be 
  used to derive the chemical abundances in each cluster.
  
  Observations are to be done with UVES using the red 580 mode, 
  and a slit of 0.9'' (R~50000). Although the fields are relatively crowded,
  the introduction of a slit angle was not judged necessary in most of the cases.
  Only in 5 cases an angle was introduced:
  
  IC4651No10393: 150 degrees
  IC4651No7646: 60 degrees
  NGC4349No168: 60 degrees
  NGC2539No346: 90 degrees
  NGC5822No438: 90 degrees
  
  Once the three giants of NGC2447 are observed, please give priority
  to observe Run B of this program (3 dwarfs of the same cluster). Note,
  however, that for Run B we are asking for seeing of 0.8'' and grey moon.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• We request a seeing below 1.2'' and "clear sky conditions". No restrictions
   concerning the 
  Moon were given. Please verify if the background magnitude is not too high (moon
   too close?).
  
  CAREFULL: IF SEEING IS BETTER THAN ABOUT 0.3'' THE SPECTRA MAY SATURATE!!! DON'T
   EXECUTE
  OBs IN THOSE CIRCUNSTANCES.
