General Description

This is a simple FORS2 long slit spectroscopy proogram in bad seeing conditions
 of two bright elliptical galaxies NGC 4594 and NGC 3923. Because the slit is 2"
 wide and we are interested in the absorption line spectroscopy, the "through slit"
 image is not strictly required for the acquisition of the data.

For NGC 4594 we have defined 5 OBs. In each OB the slits are aligned and parallel
 to the minor axis of the galaxy at PA=0.  

For NGC 3923 we have defined 6 OBs. 3 OBs are aligned and parallel to the galaxy
 major axis at PA = 45, and three are aligned and parallel to the galaxy minor axis
 at PA=135.

Special Execution Requirements

Special Calibration Information

We need the calibration OBs for the template stars to be executed during
  twilight.

The OBs for the template stars are listed below with the apparent B magnitudes of
 the stars

CAL-HR5601   mB=5.4  KOIII
CAL-HD136028 mB=7.4  K5III
CAL-HR6770   mB=5.7  G8III

These OB should be acquired at twilight on the same night when anyone of the science
 OB for run has been executed.

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 ?

```
N/A
```

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?

```
N/A
```

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 ?

```
N/A
```

If you have prepared your finding charts with tools other than FIMS, do they comply with the specifications on the FORS1 Phase 2 web page ?

```
N/A
