Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is an imaging program with HAWK-I using a NB filter (NB 1.06 micron).
There are two fields, GOODS-S and the Bullet Cluster(1E 0657-56). 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, Y, 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.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
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 ?
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?
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 ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar
templates ?
If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle, did you
check carefully the definition in the manual ?
Did you enter the magnitude of the brightest star in the field-of-view
in the 'Instrument Comments' field of each OB ?
If you use the MoveToPixel acquisition, have you given clear instructions
on the FC and in the OB comment section as to how the field should be centered ?
