General Description

• After run A, we warmly thank ESO staff: we got incredible images ! Amazing
   !!!
  
  This is run B, and we propose to repeat similar observations.
  This is taff job: observation of Jupiter using a satellite as AO reference. It is
   challenging.
  Io is bright, magV=5, so VIS WFS is to be used. No finding chart, IO size ~1.1 arcsec
  Please center Jupiter (size=45\") into Conica.
  Jupiter great red spot is the main target.
  First, series of 6 NB filters are observed, with small jitter offset, but no sky.
   
  After run A, DITxNDIT have been adjusted, there should be no saturation. For NB109,
   we put a ND filter.
  Later, AO loop is opened and apply a large offset (60arcsec RA + 60 Dec) to go to
   sky, again a series of same NB filters for sky only (no AO).
  Then this is done.
  
  1 OB for science, 1 OB for standard star.
  
  To make things easy, coordinates are correct if OB starts 29 August, 04h00 UTC (as
   indicated into name). Please be right in time, because Io will run onto Jupiter
   and eventually the OB becomes impossible to complete if late... Also, airmass is
   getting huge.
  
  In case night 29 August failed, a second science OB has been prepared, using Callisto
   as AO reference: to be run ++only++ if night 29 August was not executed, starts
   30 August, 01h20 UTC (as indicated into name). Since it cross zenith, you have to
   start at 01h20 UTC since ALT=85deg.
  
  Any problem, call me home: + 33 1 40 30 37 95, any time.
  Thank you and good luck !!! Olivier Marco

Waiver Requests

• A Waiver Request was submitted, no answer so far. We ask for a longer
   OB: 
  For this special project, AO loop is locked on a (fast moving) satellite of Jupiter
   (Io or Callisto), which is time critical.
  This may take quite some time to successfully lock the AO system, and we have allocated
   time for that task (we required a 2 hours SM allocation).
  We would like to spend 1.5h for 1 science OB (including preset, setup, science with
   several filters) and 0.5h for 1 OB night time standard star using NB filters. So
   we request a weiver to allow to run a unique 1.5h OB in one shoot. We agree that
   if conditions change OB will not be repeated.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• None.

Time-Critical Aspects

• Since the AO system has to be locked on Io satellite, this can be done
   only when it is located at a suitable distance. 
  We choose the date & time so that the distance Jupiter - Io is always less than
   50\"
  The coordinates of both Jupiter & Io in the OB are given for the time of the
   preset, if it is done in time no modification is necessary.

Special Calibration Information

• We need flux calibration for all the NB filters we use.
  Please run the dedicated OB with an ESO photometric standard.
  Star is: HD188112, B9V, J=10.708, H=10.787, K=10.860
