General Description

• We observe two bright Wolf-Rayet stars, WR102c and WR102ka, with their
   surrounding nebula. The nebula fields are expected to be faint, therefore we use
   the calibration_PSF template with "inverse" offsets to get precise positions to
   reconstruct the science fields from different nights.
  
  Note: WR102c an offset between SIMBAD coordinates and assumed 2MASS point source
   coordinates is found. 
  
  The Table indicates the brightest object expected in each field, according to 2MASS:
  
  OB name         K_mag
  ---------------------
  WR102ka-01      12.00  nebula   
  WR102ka-02      12.00  nebula
  WR102ka-03      12.00  nebula, 2MASS point source fainter than K=11mag
  WR102ka-04       9.65  2MASS point source without SpT
  WR102ka-05      12.00  nebula
  WR102ka-06       8.84  WR102ka
  WR102ka-07      12.00  nebula
  WR102ka-08      12.12  2MASS point source without SpT
  WR102ka-09      11.10  2MASS point source without SpT
  WR102ka-10      12.00  nebula
  WR102ka-11      10.32  2MASS point source without SpT
  ---------------------
  WR102c-01       12.00  nebula       
  WR102c-02       12.00  nebula       
  WR102c-03       10.30  2MASS point source without SpT   
  WR102c-04        9.93  WR102c       
  WR102c-05       10.63  2MASS point source without SpT  
  WR102c-06       11.67  2MASS point source without SpT   
  WR102c-07        9.93  small overlapp with field WR102c-04 
  
  None of the objects is brighter than 6th magnitude in the 2MASS K-band.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• none

Time-Critical Aspects

• none

Special Execution Requirements

• We perfom a blind offset to our science fields from reference stars. Both
   these stars are very bright in the K-band, we therefore ask to skip the sky during
   acquisition.
  
  We use the calibration_PSF template with "inverse" offsets to get precise positions
   to reconstruct/coadd the science fields from different nights.

Special Calibration Information

• The calibration_PSF template is used following our science template to
   determine precise positions of the faint science targets (nebula).
  
  We do not need a sky exposure in the calibration_PSF template.
  
  We would appreciate a B-type standard star (B V) in the general calibration plan.
