General Description

• This is an imaging programme targeting a single science object (nearby
   starburst galaxy Haro 11) and one standard star (S301-D).
  
  The galaxy exhibits several bright knots, the brightest of which we will be using
   for the AO correction
  
  3 Filters are used: K, IB2.15 and IB2.21. 
  
  15 OBs are submitted in total.
  
  12 of the OBs should be executed under CLEAR conditions. These comprise 4 OBs in
   each of the 3 filters and are named Haro11_FilterName_X where FitlerName = [ Ks
   | IB2.15 | IB2.21 ] and X is a number 1 to 4. 
  
  The remaining 3 OBs are to calibrate the main 12 and must be executed under PHOTOMETRIC
   conditions. Firstly there is Haro11_Ks_Phot for the calibration of Ks. The 2 final
   OBs consist of one on target, which empolys both IB filters (Haro11_IB_Phot) and
   one on the Standard Star S301-D (Cal_S301D_IB). These two OBs must be executed consecutively.
  
  
  
         Brightest objects
  ----------------------------------
  
  2 fields are observed: Haro11 and one standard star. 
  
  
  The brightest objects in the science frames is the science target itself which has
   an aparent total magnitude of around K=12 (Vega). 
  
  The brightest cluster is used as the AO natural guide star and has a magnitude of
   V=15.5
  
  For the standard star frame, S301D itself is the brightest object. Ks=11.8 and approxiamtely
   solar type

Time-Critical Aspects

Special Execution Requirements

• For photometric calibration of the intermediate band filters, the following
   OBs must be executed consecutively: 
  
  	Haro11_IB_Phot
  	Cal_S301D_IB

Special Calibration Information

• Only one Ks-band OB will be executed under photometric conditions (Haro11_Ks_Phot)
   -- this falls within the standard calibration plan.
  
  The intermediate band OBs will be calibrated using one OB to image Haro11 in IB2.15
   and IB2.21, and NICMOS standard star S301-D in the same filters. These OBs must
   be executed consecutively. The Ks aparent magnitude of the calibration star is 11.8
   (Vega)
