General Description

6 OB are defined, of which 5 are observations of galaxies, of these 5
 two are of the same galaxy (NGC474).

If possible, can the shortest OB, which is an observation of the template star HD8544
 be observed before one of the galaxy OBs.

The finding charts do not have boxes marking the IFU, I can't remake them until
 next week (because GUIDECAM does not run on a Mac), but the target is always the
 object at the centre of the field at the end of the green line. They are all obvious.
 The galaxy nucleus should always be as close as possible to the centre of the IFU.
 

The galaxy OBs all have an offset sky exposure, in addition to the two on-source
 expsoures. In each case the guide star selected with GUIDECAM and marked on the
 finding chart is still in the field of view at the sky offset position. 

Please let me know if there are any problems. I have to submit this now for a number
 of reasons.

Thanks,
Dave Carter

Special Execution Requirements

If possible can the shortest OB, which is a template observation, be executed
 immediately before or after one of the galaxy OBs.

Special Calibration Information

We will need only the response curves nearest to the OBs, which are part
 of teh calibration plan

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?

Pre-imaging Requirements

```
N/A
```

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 ?

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 ?
