General Description

• The science targets need to be observed at 4 different PAs (position angles):
    0 and 90 degrees and their opposites 180 and 270 degrees. These PAs are generally
   combined into in two OBs, one containing the PAs 0 and 90 degrees and one containing
   the PAs 180 and 270 degrees. The telluric standard only needs to be observed at
   one position angle. Each telluric is observed in several distinct OBs, each of which
   is associated with a distinct science OB. One telluric OB must be observed after
   each science observation.
  
  The PA 0+90 OB and PA 180+270 OB science OBs do not need to be observed consecuitively.
  
  Technical details:
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  To link observations at different position angles in one OB, and to aviod re-aquiring,
   we utilise the spectro-astrometry OB template. However, in some cases this led to
   an OB with an execution time of more than one hour. When this happened we split
   the long OB into multiple shorter OBs. These are identical but are labelled differently,
   i.e -1,-2... Each OB has an associated telluric OB.
  
  These OBs do not need to be observed consecuitively.
  
  B-R for stars of known spectral type but uncertain R was estimated using tabulated
   values from their spectral slope from optical to NIR wavelengths.

Waiver Requests

• None were granted.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• The position angle 0 degrees must be really anti-parallel to 180 degrees,
   and 90 degress must be similarly anti-parallel to 270 degrees.

Time-Critical Aspects

• There are no time conditional aspects to this project.

Special Execution Requirements

• If there are two science OBs (for an object):
  
  Follow the 0 and 90 degrees position angle OB with the provided telluric standard
   OB (designated by CAL_T_"SCIENCE OB NAME"-1).
  Also please follow the 180 degrees and 270 degrees OB with the other provided telluric
   standard OB (designated by CAL_T_"SCIENCE OB NAME"-2).
  
  If there are four science OBs (for an object):
  
  Follow the first 0 and 90 degrees position angle OB with the provided telluric standard
   OB (designated by CAL_T_"SCIENCE OB NAME"-1).
  Follow the second 0 and 90 degrees position angle OB with the provided telluric
   standard OB (designated by CAL_T_"SCIENCE OB NAME"-2).
  Follow the first 180 degrees and 270 degrees OB with the provided telluric standard
   OB (designated by CAL_T_"SCIENCE OB NAME"-3).
  Finally follow the second 180 degrees and 270 degrees OB with the provided telluric
   standard OB (designated by CAL_T_"SCIENCE OB NAME"-4).
  
  It does not matter which science OB is observed first and the science OBs do not
   need to be observed contiguously.

Special Calibration Information

• We have no special calibration proceedures. Standard calibration is required,
   i.e. bias frames 
  and flat frames. We also provide Telluric standard OBs.

ToO Information

• N/A

ToO Activators List

• N/A

Do the README file and the instrument comments of the telluric stars
 OBs include the required S/N/pixel of the spectrum of the telluric star, its spectral
 type and allowed spectral range?

• YES

Do any OBs include wavelength or flatfield calibrations?

• NO

If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
 files to your OBs?

• N/A

If the slit viewer guide star is different from the target, are the RA
 and DEC offsets accurate to within 0.05 arcsec and do they take into account the
 relative proper motion between the two objects?

• N/A

If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first for objects
 at similar RA, did you make use of the User Priority field in the OBs?

• N/A
