General Description

• Narrow-band imaging of a distant cluster. 
  ------------------------------------------
  These observations form a 6 hour observation of a distant protocluster through the
   narrowband 2_19. These observations will detect Halpha emission from the protocluster
   galaxies. The galaxies we wish to observe are faint (Ks=23mag). 
  
  This program observes a high redshift radio galaxy and its surrounding galaxies.
   The galaxy is too faint to be seen in 2MASS and will not be seen in the acquisition
   image. The attached finding charts show the full ISAAC field of view indicated by
   the black box. The target lies in the centre of the field. There are few stars with
   which to find an accurate position, but accuracy to within ~10 arcsec is adequate.
  
  To calibrate the observations we require one OB to be taken in photometric conditions
   and a standard star to be observed on the same night. The OB 'TX1707+105 NB-0' is
   to be observed on the same night as the standard star OB name='Standard star'. The
   observing conditions for these OBs must be photometric. As these are essential observations
   we have set the priority to 1. The standard star can be taken either before or after
   the object OB 'TX1707+105 NB-0'
  
  The rest of the observations can be observed in CLEAR conditions and the flux calibration
   will be achieved using the 2 OBs obsevered in the photometic conditions. These observations
   require the photometric observations to be made first therefore these OBs are set
   to priority 2.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• For the majority of the program we specify CLEAR, 0.8" seeing and no moon
   constaints
  
  FOR 2 OBs we specify the following conditions: PHOTOMETRIC, 0.8" seeing and no moon
   constraints. 
  These 2 OBs comprise of one target OB and a standard star with which we will flux
   calibrate all of the target observations

Time-Critical Aspects

• none

Special Execution Requirements

• For the data to be calibrated OBs 'standard star' and 'TX1707+105 NB-0'
   must be observed, therefore these OB have the highest priority

Special Calibration Information

• To calibrate the observations we require one OB to be taken in photometric
   conditions and a standard star to be observed on the same night. The OB 'TX1707+105
   NB-0' is to be observed on the same night as the standard star OB name='Standard
   star'. The observing conditions for these OBs must be photometric. As these are
   essential observations we have set the priority to 1. The standard star can be taken
   either before or after the object OB 'TX1707+105 NB-0'
  The standard star is J=8.9, K=8.6, and of spectral type=F9
