General Description

• Simple multi-filter imaging of nuclei of obscured Seyferts. The idea is
   to use these high spatial resolution images to accurately measure the nuclear power
   and correlate it with X-rays.   Only two OBs are observed in different configurations:
   OB#301329 in SF/K-BAND and OB#301330 in IF/PAH2 respectively. These are both for
   confirmation of the position of the nucleus of the interesting (and possibly extended)
   target SWIFTJ0601-8636.   
  
  ACQUISTION 
  ---------- 
  In all cases, the brightest point source observed in the acquisition images should
   be taken as the science target. Acqusition exposure times have bene determined from
   achival images at other wavelengths and IRAS. But several of these targets have
   never been observed with such high spatial resolution before, so there is a slim
   possibility that acq time may need to be increased.

  GUIDE STARS 
  ===========
  Have been chosen for each target using guidecamLite, as suggested on the VISIR p2pp
   webpage. Please feel free to choose a different star if required.

Waiver Requests

• A waiver to include two targets additional to the Phase 1 targets was
   submitted on Aug 1, and approved the same day. The two targets are SWIFTJ0138-4001
   (aka ESO 297-G018) and SWIFTJ0601-8636 (aka ESO 005-G004). This request was done
   through the new webform http://eso.org/observing/p2pp/ProgChange/ which does not
   return a waiver number. So the only reference we have is this email below:

  Dr Horst, with respect to your request to add two more targets, please be informed
   that both have been approved. Best regards,

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• We have been granted PHO conditions, but reduced this to CLR since the
   proposal is in grade (category) B. The important thing for us is that photometry
   not be overly affected by clouds.
