Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This program is aimed at obtaining Ks band HAWK-I observations of powerful
radio galaxies (likely belonging to clusters) with no SDSS counterpart.
The Ks band magnitudes are estimated to be < 20 mag, so we therefore require
a minimum integration time of 480 seconds per target to obtain a S/N=10.
The targets are intentionally NOT in the quadrant centers because we want to optimize
the coverage of the
cluster to improve the legacy value of the data. The target position is denoted
by a green square in the finding charts. The finding charts attached are 2MASS Ks
band jpeg images of 11' x 11'. We also attach SDSS i band jpeg images of a larger
field of view of 20' x 20'.
We are using the MoveToPixel acquistion template instead of the Preset in order
to dump the image to disk and still use this image for scientific purposes. We do
not require precise positioning in the acquisition template. The exact positioning
center for the target is given in the OB Target RA and Dec.
We have ordered the targets according to observation priority, with 1 being the
highest. The strongest radio sources have precedent over the weaker radio sources.

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 ?
If you are doing spectroscopy, did you draw the slit on the Finding Charts
?
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 ?
