Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is a spectroscopic run, with 4 OBs that are the same.
The target is an edge-on spiral that is lensing a background quasar
and splitting it into two images.
The OBs have a blind offset from a red reference star (r~20.5, r-i~1.5)
and acquisition of the target in a narrow 0.5" width slit.
The slit needs to be oriented along the galaxy edge as to take the spectrum
of the whole galaxy to measure its rotation curve (see finding chart).
The two images of the quasar may be useful for reference during the acquisition,
they are separated by approx 0.8".
The slit should run approx perpendicular to the line joining the two QSO images
(see finding chart).
Note that the slit should not be centered on any of the quasar images.
It should be centered on the galaxy.
After acquisition, there are two exposures of 1080s with a small
dither along the slit between them for each OB.

Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
If you have prepared your finding charts with tools other than FIMS,
do they comply with the specifications on the FORS1 Phase 2 web page ?
