General Description
This programme aims at photometry of the intermediate and low-mass cluster
members of a young starburst cluster.
3 pointings are observed in H,Ks and L using the IR WFS.
The observations sequence is as follows:
1) aquisition with centering on a bright star in the field (NOTE: if this star is
not visible in L, the interactive centering could be skipped)
2) Offset to a skyfield with a 5 point jitter pattern
3) offset back to the science field: 2 times a 9 point jitter pattern
4) offset to sky field: 5 point jitter pattern.
For the H and Ks: the IR WFS N90C10 is used, while for the L-band observations the
JHK WFS is used.
Please make sure that the photometric standard stars are also observed in those
dicroics.
For the OBS SCI_10049center_H, Ks and L, three AO stars are indicated. The best
star (R3) is within ~2.5 arcsec of an other star with about the same magnitude.
If the seeing is good and stable, this star is prefered for as a AO reference star.
Otherwise, please use them in the order given.
For the NAOS acquisition of the central field in the cluster it might be difficult
to find a proper sky for the Field selector, the following offset could be used
for the following OBS:
SCI_10049center_H, SCI_10049center_Ks, SCI_10049center_L:
R1:
delta ra: 5.5 arcsec
delta dec: 16.5 arcsec
R2:
delta ra: -7 arcsec
delta dec: 20 arcsec
R3:
delta ra: -14 arcsec
delta dec: 26 arcsec

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
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 PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with
PSF_ ?
If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view
of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation)
?
Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects
R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding
Charts ?
Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view
for each OB ?
Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which
are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages
?
If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification
for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
