Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 2.2

General Description

• This run is to obtain a 2-hour time series of high resolution spectra
   of HD965, an Ap star suspected to be an roAp star. We aim for the highest precision
   radial velocity measurements with the data. 
  
  The OB named ?HD965  2hr? is designed to fit exactly into the allocated time of
   2.2 hr = 2:12:00. The  execution time calculated by P2PP is 2:11:55. We have a waiver
   to run a 2-hr OB to avoid the 9-min setup time lost when re-running a 1-hr OB. 
  
  We need only standard calibrations, plus the one ThAr exposure at the end of the
   time series in the OB.
  
  We have been given a waiver for the fast readout mode.
  
  The attached finding chart is not needed. There is no confusion in the field of
   this bright star. 
  
  We do NOT want the iodine in the beam. 
  
  Here are the waivers from Nando given on 4 October 2007:
  
  Dear Dr. Kurtz,
  
  the waiver to use the fast readout mode 625kHz, 1x1, low is granted.
  As for the OB length of 2 hours, 
  the waiver is granted with the usual restriction
  that if the conditions 
  degrade in violation of the constraints after the first hour,
  the OB will not be repeated.
  
  Best regards,
  
  Nando
