Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 25:10

General Description

• Photometric follow-up of Corot transiting planets
  Time-critical, long sequences of images in a single filter should be executed.
  They are all occuring during the first half of the night.
  Please check for saturation on the main target as indicated in the finding chart
   (white circle). If needed, please adapt the exopsure time to avoid saturation, and
   increase accordingly the number of exposure to have the same duration of the sequence.
   Thanks!

Waiver Requests

• OBs are longer than 1 hour.
  Approved on Aug 11th

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• none

Time-Critical Aspects

• The series of images must be executed on the following epochs (also indicated
   in the OBs)
  Sequence usually starts ASAP after the twilight and lasts until the field sets.
   Exact duration of each depends on the transit duration and timing.
  
  corot-3-25Aug: night 25-26 Aug
  
  SRc01-E1-1773-1Sept: night 1-2 Sept
  
  corot-2-8Sept: night 8-9 Sept
  
  LRc01-E2-1145-13Sept: night 13-14 Sept
  
  LRc01-E2-1055-Sept: night 26-27 and 27-28 Sept (filter sequence V, R, I, V, R, I,
   ...)

Special Execution Requirements

• Please check for saturation of the main target. Exposure times were calculated
   for median seeing of 0.8". The counts on the main target should be about 50-70%
   of the linear regime of the detector.  If needed, please adapt the exposure time
   to avoid saturation, and increase accordingly the number of exposures to have the
   same duration of the sequence. Thanks!
  
  The field center is always shifted wrt to the main target position (marked in the
   finding chart with a white circle) by about 30-50" in RA and DEC.
