General Description

This is a test for a new observation and data reduction technique, which
 does not require jittering, and therefore allows the usage of shorter MOS slits.
 The total observation is split among two identical OBs

Waiver Requests

No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

```
None
```

Time-Critical Aspects

We would appreciate if this OB could be executed before the deadline for
 the submission of MOS VIMOS OBs for period 82, as this test is designed to let us
 decide which observing strategy to use for large programme

Special Execution Requirements

```
None
```

Special Calibration Information

To better explore our new data reduction technique we need a set of day-time
 flat fields covering a large range of illumination intensity. We would need at least
 5 flat field exposures where the peak number of counts per pixel in a slit covers
 the range from 3000 to 30,000 counts
We have not submitted an OB for this calibration requirement, as the standard calibration
 OB does not allow the user to specify the exposure level. Still this calibration
 requirement is probably not part of the 
standard calibration plan

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?

```
false
```

Pre-imaging Requirements

```
None
```

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 ?

```
N/A
```

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 ?

```
N/A
```

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?

```
N/A
```

If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?

```
N/A
```

If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities, did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?

```
N/A
```

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 ?
