General Description

This project aims at the identification of infrared counterparts (OB and
 Be emission-line stars) to obscured High Mass X-Ray Binaries in the region of the
 Galactic Arms.  OBs are organized by priority, as specified in each "User Priority"
 field.  We submitted OBs for standard stars since we need a very accurate removal
 of telluric features (see Special Calibration Information for details). 
We intend to obtain snr ~ 100.

Special Calibration Information

We submitted two OBs for calibration per scientific target. They both
 correspond to telluric standard stars and we need them in order to ensure accurate
 removal of telluric features. We recommend to observe the two provided calibration
 OBs contiguously to the corresponding science target, as also reported in the ?User
 Comments? field of each science OB. This means we would prefer the execution of
 the two calibration OBs, one before and one after the scientific OB. That would
 ensure minimal airmass differences between the standard and the science target.
 

We summerize in the followong table the correspondence between science and calibration
 OBs:  

Science OB |  cal. OB 1 |  cal. OB 2 | 
           |            |            |
IGRJ16358  | HIP81229_1 |  HIP80032  |
IGRJ16493  |  HIP80982  | HIP81949_1 |
IGRJ16393  | HIP81949_2	| HIP81229_2 |  

Here we provide magnitude and spectral type of supplied standard stars:  
HIP81229: K = 7.046 mag, G3V star 
HIP80032: K = 7.745 mag, A0V star  
HIP80982: K = 7.283 mag, G2V star
HIP81949: K = 7.388 mag, A3V star

Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific Phase 2 Web Pages ?

If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?

Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are not part of the Calibration Plan ?

If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris files to your OBs?

```
N/A

If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?

If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities, did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?

```
N/A
```

If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar templates ?

If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle, did you check carefully the definition in the manual ?

If you are doing spectroscopy, did you draw the slit on the Finding Charts ?

Did you enter the magnitude of the brightest star in the field-of-view in the 'Instrument Comments' field of each OB ?

If you use the MoveToPixel acquisition, have you given clear instructions on the FC and in the OB comment section as to how the field should be centered ?
