General Description

• Standard broadband imaging run, targeting 2 objects. Each object is observed
   in a total of 6 slightly offset positions, to build-up the signal and allow for
   bad pixel correction in the usual manner. Biases and twilights flats are needed
   (darks optional) in the same readout mode.
  
  Notes:
  
  1) Although 2x2 binning is the recommended set-up for EMMI-red, standard calibrations
   are apparently only available for 1x1 binning. If right, then additional day-time
   calibrations (biases and, optionally, darks) and twilight I-band flats will need
   to be obtained with 2x2 binning. If this is not possible, then 2x2 binning should
   be changed to 1x1 (acceptable, but an overkill).
  
  2) The objects are edge-on spiral galaxies (and thus rather long and flat). The
   acquisition procedure is meant to center the galaxies in the middle of the Master
   CCD on EMMI-red (the Slave CCD is thus of no use), with the long axis of the galaxies
   along the long (vertical) axis of the CCD.
  
  3) Although the acquisition images for RILD_img_acq_MoveToPixel are binned 2x2,
   I am assuming that the position under the "Target Pixel Coordinates" parameter is
   in unbinned pixels. If not, then this coordinate needs to be changed.
