Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Direct imaging of young bright stars. The aim of the program is to take
second epoch observations of young stars with substellar companion candidates,
to confirm them as common proper motion pairs.
Most of them are observed with the VIS WFS (+IB2.27 or Ks), while only two
are observed with the IR WFS+Ks.
The targets are the brightest objects in the FOV. All of them
are used as reference stars. The most important thing is to avoid saturation.
All of them should be centered in the NACO FOV (except id6242_0104 which includes
an offset).
Three astrometric calibrators will be observed at the beginning, middle and
end of the period to calibrate the plate scale of conica.

Special Execution Requirements
ALL the targets must be centered in the detector, even if in some FC are
slightly displaced.
It is very important not to saturate the targets.
We have computed DITxNDITS to stay within the linearity regime (cts~8000cts). If
this is not the case,
please adjust DITxNDIT manually (to stay within within the linearity regime whenever
possible).
The target hip96515 won't be within the linearity regime, but this is not a problem.
Special Calibration Information
We have included three astrometric calibrators to be observed at the beginning,middle
and end of the period.
CAL_ThetaOri1C_april
CAL_IDS21506_june
CAL_IDS21506_sep
We will use them to calibrate the plate scale and the detector orientation.
Please, fit the DITxNDIT to keep within the linearity regime of the detector.

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 have PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with
PSF_ ?
If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view
of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation)
?
Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects
R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding
Charts ?
Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view
for each OB ?
Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which
are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages
?
If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification
for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
