General Description

This is a pure imaging run in V and I filters of 10 dwarf galaxies in
 gray time. The telescope pointings were chosen such that the targets for observation
 are centered in the Q2. The target coordinates in each OB are the coordinates of
 the center of the VIMOS field of view.

The targets' priority was set such that a complete observation in V and I filters
 with the required observation conditions for priority 1 targets to be obtained.
 This will guarantee 60% achievement of the program science goals.

All targets have observability in gray time for more than 5 night hrs@sec.z <1.5
 during the Oct-Dec window, i.e. ~40 nights in total. This time is enough for completion
 of the V and I-band observations for at least one target per night, which requires
 1:05h. If one galaxy is observed per night the upper number of observing nights
 sums up to 10.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

The general observing conditions required for this OB are indicated in
 the Constraint Set section for each target. Photometric night with seeing < 0.8,
 airmass < 1.4, lunar illumination < 0.5 and lunar angle > 100 are the desirable
 conditions for each target for this run.

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 ?

```
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 ?

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
```

Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam ?

Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for all the offset positions and that they do not produce unacceptable vignetting of the field of view ?
