General Description

• Below we prioritize the observing blocks for this run:
  
  ONE: IMAGING URANUS IN Q2:
  
  The OBs should be executed in the order:  
  
  1. HD216032_ima_Q2-1 (For calibration)
  2. MOV_Uranus_ima_Q2-1
  3. MOV_Uranus_ima_Q2-2
  4. HD216032_ima_Q2-3 (For calibration)
  5. MOV_Uranus_ima_Q2-3
  6. MOV_Uranus_ima_Q2-4
  7. MOV_Uranus_ima_Q2-5
  8. HD216032_ima_Q2-5 (For calibration)
  
  NB1: Calibration OBs must be executed before AND after each 2 or 3 sets of Uranus
   OBs. Please, adjust this schedule if the airmass is too different from one OB to
   the next. If all OBs cannot be executed during the same night, be sure to run at
   least one "Calibration" OB (i.e. HD216032_ima_Q2-*) at each time.
  
  NB2: As you stay on the same target between 2 MOV_URANUS OBs, you can increase the
   exposure time after the first OB to fit within 1 h.
  
  NB3: Our previous observation in Sept. 2006 showed that you may need to use the
   tracking camera at the beginning of the OBs in order to locate Uranus.
  
  TWO: LOW RESOLUTION SPECTROSCOPY (12.4 MICRONS):
  
  The slit should be aligned and centred along North-South polar axis of Uranus.
  
  OBs should be executed in the order:  
  
  1. MOV_Uranus_spectro_LR-1
  2. MOV_Uranus_spectro_LR-2
  3. MOV_Uranus_spectro_LR-3
  4. MOV_Uranus_spectro_LR-4
  5. MOV_Uranus_spectro_LR-5
  
  
  THREE: IMAGING URANUS IN Q3:
  
  OBs to be executed in the order:  
  
  1. HD216032_ima_Q3-1 (For calibration)
  2. MOV_Uranus_ima_Q3-1
  3. MOV_Uranus_ima_Q3-2
  4. HD216032_ima_Q3-2 (For calibration)
  5. MOV_Uranus_ima_Q3-3
  6. HD216032_ima_Q3-3 (For calibration)
  
  NB : Adjust this schedule if needed to have similar airmass between HD216032 and
   Uranus. Moreover, if two OB  on uranus are performed consecutively, increase the
   exposure time of the second one to fit the total execution time within 1h.
