General Description

This is a ToO program to measure the linear polarization of hypernovae
 associated to GRBs.  Given that hypernovae associated to GRBs might show a wide
 range of apparante magnitudes, we have decided to submit 13 OBs with different exposure
 times, binning and frames per OB. 

Six of the OBs have a binning of 1x1, instead of the standard 2x2 binning. These
 6 new OBs are based on the expericience we had in P80
observing SN2008D with our ToO program 080.D-0008(A) (the same as 081.D-0026(A)
 but in P80) where the OBs were not efficient to observe bright targets.  The six
 1x1 binned OBs have been checked in after the a granted waiver request, where we
 explained that the 2x2 binned OBs saturate bright hypernovae as SN2008D observed
 in P80.

This set of 2x2 and 1x1 binned OBs will provide us a wide operational range at the
 time of activation.
