Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
These observations are to obtain IFU maps of six nearby dwarf galaxies.
All the OBs have the exact same setup. The total integration time per galaxy is
1 hour (apart for one exception). The total integration time for a galaxy is separated
into two OBs: one with two dithered 20-minute pointings, and another one with the
third 20 min exposure (to comply with the awarded telescope time, one galaxy does
not have this second OB, and instead has 3 13.5 minute pointings in the first OB).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints
As stated in the constraint set of each OB, there are no seeing requirements
for these observations, but the sky must be clear and as dark as possible. Since
the targets are in the +10 to +12 degree range in declination, they should be observed
as close to zenith as possible to obtain reasonable airmasses.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
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 ?
Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam
?
Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for all the offset
positions and that they do not produce unacceptable vignetting of the field of view
?
