General Description

• This is the MOS run (082.C-0811(B)) of previously done pre-imaging run
   (082.C-0811(A)).
  A total of 12 OBs have been prepared. Each set of 4 OBs corresponds to the three
   pointings 
  of the MOS observations. The integration time in each OB is 1h in one unique exposure.
   
  Considering acquisition and night calibrations, a total observation time of 1:27:30
   per OB is requested. 
  A waiver request to exceed the execution time of 1h was submitted and aproved.
  
  We have asigned different priorities to our OBs following these criteria:
  - The priority of the three pointings in descendend order is: VIMOS-N, VIMOS-E and
   VIMOS-S
  - The observation of 2 OBs per pointing guarantee a minimum of our scientific objective.
  - The observation of the three pointing maximize the number of objects and interesting
   individual cases. 
  Hence, we require to observe first 2 OBs of the VIMOS-N pointing, second 2 OBs of
   VIMOS-E, third 2 OBs of VIMOS-S and then repeat this structure again.

Waiver Requests

• A waiver request for the programme 082.C-0811(B) to exceed the extend
   the execution time to 2h 
  was submitted on 30/10/08 01:57 and aproved by Michael Hilker on 30/10/08 13:24.
   Nevertheless, 
  following his recommendation, we decided not to exceed the execution time of 1.5h.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• According to the VIMOs p2pp information, observations must be obtained
   
  while the field is +/- 2 hours from the meridian, so in our objects observations
   
  have to be done at Airmass below 1.3.

Time-Critical Aspects

• No time-critical aspects is needed

Special Execution Requirements

• We have asigned different priorities to our OBs following these criteria:
  - The priority of the three pointings in descendend order is: VIMOS-N, VIMOS-E and
   VIMOS-S
  - The observation of 2 OBs per pointing guarantee a minimum of our scientific objective.
  - The observation of the three pointing maximize the number of objects and interesting
   individual cases. 
  Hence, we require to observe first 2 OBs of the VIMOS-N pointing, second 2 OBs of
   VIMOS-E, third 2 OBs of VIMOS-S and then repeat this structure again.
