General Description

This is a straighforward imaging run in two photometric bands (V,I) to
 study the 
new Bootes II Milky Way satellite candidate. Field 1 is aligned with the tentative
centre of the resolved galaxy as defined by a concentration of faint stars in the
 SDSS data, 
whereas field 2 is slightly off-centered. Bootes II has an estimated half light
 radius 
of 5.4 arcmin.

The scientific aim is to confirm the new Milky Way companion and to produce a deep
CMD reaching 2 magnitudes below the MSTO to study the underlying stellar population.

The FORS2 CCD frames will be photometrically calibrated using std star observations
 from the
calibration plan.

A small pointing offset of 5 arcsec in RA and DEC between each exposure shall 
help to remove the effects of bad pixels and the 4 arcsec gap between the two CCDs.
