General Description

• This is a program to acquire K imaging of 10 targets (BCD galaxies) located
   in Hydra cluster. Because there are some bright stars in some fields (brighter than
   the allowed limit), we will adopt two observing sequences. Both sequences will acquire
   the science target in centre of the field. 
  
  The first sequence (named here "quadrants") will cycle the targets through the 4
   cuadrants (the centre of them), using small jitters. The quandrants sequence will
   be used for 5 fields: H1035-2756, H1038-2733, H1035-2502, H1034-2758, H1038-2730.
   
  
  The second sequence (named here "avoidbright") is meant to prevent bright stars
   (brighter than the allowed limit K=8.6) to enter the field, taking into account
   the location of these stars with respect of the science targets. The avoidbright
   sequences will be different from field to field (established based on the position
   of science target with respect to bright star/s in the field) and will be used for
   5 fields. 4 sequences will cycle the science target along 4 positions of a line
   (horizontal or vertical) for H1031-2818 vert, H1035-2605 horiz, H1035-2740 vert,
   H1031-2632 vert. One sequence will cycle the science target in the bottom-right
   quadrant around 4 positions to avoid 2 bright stars around H1032-2638. 
  
  There is no need to observe standars, as we will use 2MASS stars in the field for
   calibration. Total integration time for each target (effective exposure) is 12 min.
  
  The list of OBs is presented ordered after priority of targets.
