General Description

• This program consists in various exposures for photometric calibration
   of previous observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 2163 obtained in clear time,
   and re-observation of failed observations.
  
  - Short 300s exposures in photometric conditions of the central field in UBVRI are
   targeted in OBs: A2163C_U_Pho, A2163C_B_Pho, A2163C_V_Pho, A2163C_Rc_Pho, A2163C_I_Pho.
   
  
  - Short 500s exposures in photometric conditions in the medium-band filter MB 790/25
   ESO850 of the Eastern, Central and Western fields in OBs: A2163E1_Halpha_pho, A2163C1_Halpha_pho,
   A2163W1_Halpha_pho, each one together with a spectrophotometric standard for calibration
   observed with filter MB 790/25 ESO850 : G138-31-Halpha-pho1, G138-31-Halpha-pho2,
   G138-31-Halpha-pho3.
  
  - A set of 8x500s exposures in photometric conditions in the medium-band filter
   MB 790/25 ESO850 of the Central field in OB: A2163C1_Halpha_long, together with
   a spectrophotometric standard for calibration observed with filter MB 790/25 ESO850
   : G138-31-Halpha-pho4

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• "Photometric" - Seeing 1.3 - Airmass 1.5 - Lunar illumination 0.1 
  For OBs A2163C_U_Pho, A2163C_B_Pho, A2163C_V_Pho, A2163_Rc_Pho, A2163_I_Pho. A2163E1_Halpha_pho,
   A2163C1_Halpha_pho, A2163W1_Halpha_pho, and the corresponding spectrophotometric
   standards.
  
  
  For OB A2163C1_Halpha_long, "clear" transparency can be accepted.

Time-Critical Aspects

• None

Special Execution Requirements

• OBs A2163E1_Halpha_pho, A2163C1_Halpha_pho, A2163W1_Halpha_pho, and A2163C1_Halpha_long
   
  use a non standard filter MB 790/25_ESO850, and 
  have to be followed in the same night by the observation of the spectrophotometric
   standard with the same filter: OBs G138-31-Halpha-pho1, G138-31-Halpha-pho2,G138-31-Halpha-pho3,
  G138-31-Halpha-pho4.
  
  Other OBs need the standard calibration plan: standards in UBVRI filters.

Special Calibration Information

• Flat fields are required through the non-standard filter MB 790/25 ESO850.
