Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
By these observations we want to study the chemical content of a large
sample of stars of the various populations distributed on the SGB, RGB and HB in
the Globular Cluster NGC 5139. The purpose is to enstablish a connection (via their
metal content) between the different SGBs and RGBs, and the stars dispersed along
the "flat" part of the HB.
To this aim we plan to observe our target stars with HR13 (7platesx4hr=28hr) and
with HR04 set-up (5platesx1hr=5hr) for a total of 33hrs observing time.
Waiver Requests
Critical Observing Condition Constraints
We had the phase I proposal approved with a seeing <=1.0,
airmass<=1.6, grey Moon, Moon 4 hours from our target, and clear sky.
Here we relaxed a bit our constrains asking for observations
with seeing<=1.0, airmass<=1.6, Lunar illumination<=0.7 (3 days
from the new moon), Moon angular distance>=60 degrees,
and sky with thin cirrus or better.

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 ?
Did you specify in your OBs the hour angle range for which your Target
Setup files are valid ?
Did you specify in your OBs the magnitudes of FACBs and Guide Star for
all your fields ?
Are the FACBs and Guide Star in the brightness ranges specified in the
FLAMES manual ?
Did you enter the expected signal to noise in your OBs ?
