General Description

This is an imaging program with HAWK-I using a NB filter (NB 1.06 micron).
 There are two fields, A1689 and CFHT-LS D4. Having as low background as possible
 is important, therefore the constraints on the Moon. It is important that these
 observations not be executed too close to a Full Moon. Keeping a distance to the
 Moon > 50 degrees is highly desirable. The Moon constraints can however be slightly
 relaxed if this helps to complete the program.

There are also a couple of science OBs of the same fields with a broad band filter
 (J, Ks). These OBs are important for the programme to provide reference images in
 the broad band filters, allowing color selection of the objects detected in the
 NB images. Ideally these OBs should be executed in photometric conditions. They
 have higher priority than the last NB OBs of a given field.

There are two calibration OBs using the NB filter which does not seem to be supported
 by the calibration plan. While accurate photometry is not critical to the programme,
 we do need reasonable photometric calibration. These OBs need to be executed in
 photometric conditions. They do not need to be executed together with the science
 OBs.
