General Description

The run 079.B-0632(B) consists of 1 OB "VCC128 imaging" which contains
 the instructions for obtaining an 8min V-band image and a 34.5min U-band image of
 the dwarf galaxy VCC128. The V-band image is split up in 4 120sec exposures, the
 U-band image is split into 18 115sec exposures. I applied small 5" shifts between
 individual exposures to get rid of cosmics. The finding chart (079.B-0632B.im.jpg)
 is a coarse DSS image, showing the position of the galaxy within the (old) FORS1
 field of view. 

The position of the galaxy is

RA  = 12 14 59.72
DEC = 09 33 55.7

By centering the image at DEC = 09 32 25.7 (i.e. 1.5 arcmin south of the galaxy),
 the galaxy will appear in the center of the top CCD of the new FORS1 mosaic. This
 is a small dwarf galaxy so it will fit well within the 4'x4' FOV of a single CCD.
 The PA of the images is 0 degrees (no rotation) so this offset in DEC should move
 the galaxy sufficiently far away from the gap.
