Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 0.7

General Description

• Spectroscopy in halo of elliptical galaxy NGC 4697 for dynamical purposes.
  
  Run A is pre-imaging for Run B (five fields).  
  
  Run B is MXU spectroscopy of globular clusters around the galaxy for obtaining their
   radial velocities.
  
  Run C is deep long-slit spectroscopy of the primary galaxy.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Alignment of pre-images needs to be fairly precise.  If images acquired
   differ from finding charts by more than ~3", please notify PI.
  
  Please observe pre-images ASAP to allow time for mask design.

Time-Critical Aspects

• Please observe pre-images ASAP to allow time for mask design.

Special Execution Requirements

• Pre-imaging run (A): we're trying to squeeze targets optimally into field,
   so please notify PI if alignment of images with finding charts differs by more than
   ~3".
  
  Also for (A):  There are a few bright stars in the fields, but in similar observations
   in the past, we've had no problems with them being saturated.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?

• true

Pre-imaging Requirements

• FORS2 to be obtained ASAP as roll-under in Per 78.
  
  We're trying to squeeze targets optimally into field, so please notify PI if alignment
   of images with finding charts differs by more than ~3".
  
  There are a few bright stars in the fields, but in similar observations in the past,
   we've had no problems with them being saturated.
  
  Typically, the finding chart generation software from FIMS had problems, and most
   of the attached finding charts are slightly corrupted, but they will hopefully still
   be usable.

Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
 on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?

• YES

If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
 Category for each Observing Template ?

• YES

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

• YES

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

• N/A

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

• N/A

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 ?

• YES

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 have prepared your finding charts with tools other than FIMS,
 do they comply with the specifications on the FORS1 Phase 2 web page ?

• N/A
