General Description

This program aims at observing the E-CDFS in Ks band at unprecedented
 depth, with 65 minutes total exposure time per pointing.
The large field requires a mosaic of 4 times 4 pointings, overlapped by 20 arcseconds
 along each side.
Each pointing is split in 2 OBs of approx 33min duration each called ECDFS_Ks_0x_0y_A
 and B, to be executed without any particular time constraint, in clear conditions
 and seeing better than 0.6 arcsec (see individual OBs for full constraint set).

In addition we ask for two OBs aimed at providing good photometric calibrations,
 to be observed contiguously in photometric conditions:
-"PcalDith" is a dithered sequence of 4x3 shallow pointings at the crossing of the
 mosaic tiles (see the large-field FC attached to that OB)
-"CAL Ks" describes the observation of the UKIRT Faint Standard field FS10

Waiver Requests

No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

Seeing better than 0.6" is required to obtain morphological information
Clear sky is required for reach the requested depth
The two short OBs for photometric calibrations ("CAL Ks" and "PcalDith") must be
 observed in photometric conditions

Time-Critical Aspects
