General Description

• These OBs are to observe Lunar occultation of asteroids with ISAAC in
   burst mode.
  For our science observations we obtain datacubes of NDIT=5000 frames with DIT=5msec
   (only in the case of the OBs BURSTUT071120-013228 and BURSTUT080321-000538 we use
   a DIT=20msec) centered on the epoch of beginning of the lunar occultation. The epoch
   of the event is specified in the appropriate fields of the ISAACLW_img_obs_FastPhot
   OB. Tipical unceratinity on the prediction of the occultation events is ~2sec.
  
  Please read Time-Critical Aspect. Each OB must be started at least ~7 minutes before
   the event time, which is reflected in the OB name. The science template ISAACLW_img_obs_FastPhot
   will then start automatically at the correct time (i.e.BURSTUT071118-023047 at 02:30:47UT
   on 2007-Nov-18).
  
  We provide ephemeris files and finding chart to accurately point the target some
   minutes before the events take place. Acqusition of the targets can be made in all
   cases.
  
  Please, remeber to insert additional RA and DEC velocities as obatined/computed
   from
  the ephemerides files, in order to track the asteroid.
  dRA*cosD d(DEC)/dt =
  The rate of change of target apparent RA and DEC (airless). d(RA)/dt is
  multiplied by the cosine of the declination. Units: ARCSECONDS PER SECONDS
  
  At the end of the template, it will not be possible to check the position of the
   target since this should have disappeared behind the Moon. The telescope should
   be moved as quickly as possible to another position, since it will now be staring
   at the Moon (on the dark side).

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Our observations are time fixed events.

Time-Critical Aspects

• We osberve time fixed events. The date and time (UT) of the event are
   specified in the appropriate fields of the ISAACLW_img_obs_FastPhot OB.
  
  We have followed the ESO naming convention of the time critical OB.
  The name of the OB is BURSTUTyymmdd-HHMMSS where
  yy is the year, mm the month, dd the day, HH the hour, MM the minute and SS the
   second in UT time at which the ISAACLW_img_obs_FastPhot must be started.
