Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Simple NACO Ks-band imaging programme.
In general, all OBs can be executed under bad seeing conditions, but please preferentially
execute OBs
prefixed with FAINT_xxx when the conditions are good (<=1"). OBs with prefix
BRIGHT_xxx can be
executed also under worse conditions.
The WFS star is always identical with the target, and always identical with the
object in the center
of the FC.
Please adjust DIT and NDIT if needed, in order to keep target peak counts below
the detector linearity
limit.
There are some targets with lower priority (indicated as priority 2 in the OBs).
Targets stars have 7.4 mag < K < 11.5mag (and no brighter stars are within
the FOVs). The exception is
object V380_028, with K=5.9, for which the neutral density filter + Ks is used.
Waiver Requests
Critical Observing Condition Constraints
Time-Critical Aspects
Special Execution Requirements
OBs named BRIGHTxxxx should preferentially be executed when the seeing
is indeed not very good,
since the WFS stars are bright and a decent SR can be achieved even under bad conditions.
OBs named FAINTxxx would benefit from good seeing, therefore these OBs (if possible)
should
be executed if seeing is 1" or better.
In general, all OBs can be executed under conditions as specified in the constraints
(1.4"/THIN).

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
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 ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
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 ?
If you have PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with
PSF_ ?
If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view
of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation)
?
Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects
R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding
Charts ?
Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view
for each OB ?
Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which
are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages
?
If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification
for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
