General Description

In the observing run 079.B-0435(A) we use VLT/FLAMES/GIRAFFE in Medusa
 mode at the wavelenght L881.7. We want to obtain spectra of minimum S/N=10 down
 to V=19.5 for 8 fields and down to V=20.0 for 4 fields. The total number of observed
 fields will be 12 (8 with exposure times of 3600sec; 4 with exposure time of 5400sec
 splitting in two parts: 3600sec+1800Sec).

Waiver Requests

No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

As observing condition constraints we ask for:
Sky Trasparency: equal or better than thin cirrus
Seeing equal or less than 1.0
Airmass eual or < 1.5
Fractional lunar illumination equal or < 0.5
Moon distance equal or > 60

Time-Critical Aspects

```
No Time-Critical Aspects
```

Special Execution Requirements

Note that sculptor_203 and sculptor_207 have allocated only 3 FACB, of
 which one is allocated to fibre 213. As this fibre is disabled in Medusa plate 2,
 the fields should be observed with Medusa plate 1.
