Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is an imaging run for only one target (binary brown dwarf) in the
Ks filter. In addition there is an OB for a PSF calibration star (we know that this
star has a very faint companion, but the distance is far enough and will not affect
our sience).
In both OBs the bright object should be clearly visible during acquisition and should
be centered in the array. We will performe the acquisition with the S13 camera,
while the imaging starts with the S13 camera, we will change it to the S27 camera
later on during the same OB without re-acquisition to keep the same/similar AO performence.
Since the target will be placed in the center of the S13 camera after the last dither
point, the target should still be fairly centered after changing to S27. The same
principle will be performed for the PSF_star.
We use the IR wavefront sensor with the N90C10 dichroic. In both OBs the AO reference
star = target. For Kelu1A the K-band magnitude is 12.35, and for the PSF_calibr_star
it is 9.96.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
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 ?
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 ?
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?
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 ?
If you have PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with
PSF_ ?
If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view
of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation)
?
Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects
R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding
Charts ?
Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view
for each OB ?
Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which
are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages
?
If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification
for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
