Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 30.0

General Description

• We aim at high signal to noise spectra to perform chemical studies. The
   diagnostics of the spectra are in the small lines so we used the ETC to estimate
   the total observing time such that the required signal to noise is reached for a
   wide spectral range. The observations are standard point and shoot exposures. The
   exposures per object are spread over several OBs. If possible, please complete target
   per target. The name of the target can be found in the OB name. Thank you

Waiver Requests

• Two approved waiver requests:
  
  1) InstrumentSetupChange: Image slicer is replaced by slit
  The LMC targets have airmass larger than 1.3 which is the limit in the manual for
   use of   image slicers.
  submitted: 15:08:34 14 July 2008
  approved:  07/15/2008 07:15 AM
  
  2) TargetChangeRequest: 
  After Phase 1 deadline, we used additional information to refine our selection and
    came to the conclusion that one of the targets, nl. J052026.38-695126.4, is not
   relevant to our science case (chemical composition of post-AGB stars in the LMC).
   We therefore requested a change of this target with two other targets, nl. J050944.90-684610.7
   and J050631.82-714230.0.
  submitted: 14:05:33 17 July 2008
