Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 3.7

General Description

• Observe as soon as possible. HIGHEST PRIORITY!!, visitor compensation
   for 3.7h time lost due to ToO/RRM.
  
  !!THIS README is written by the daytime support astronomer on UT2 [Steffen Mieske],
   using the info provided by the visitors which have left Paranal.!!
  
  NOTE: the total amount of time awarded to the compensation is 3.7 hours, but subdivided
   in two Runs I (1.7h) and J (2h). We put all three OBs of duration 1:14 into run
   I and none for run J because it was not possible to split the user provided OBs
   to fit the individual times of each run. OPO should change the time allowance correspondingly.
   Run I should have 3.7 hours, Run J can be cancelled.
  
  User description as follows:
  The project wants to probe the fine structure and proton-to-electron mass ratio
   trough observations of absorption lines in QSOs
        Three identical OBs with attached ThAr, 1h15min each
        If possible execute all OBs in a row. If so, skip aquisition
        when changing OB. Coordinates are good, object is brightest 
        object in the field, no find chart needed.

Waiver Requests

• You can assume waiver request for duration >1h as granted by PSO.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Weather constraints according to proposal:
        ==============
        Seeing: 0.8\" 
        CLR 
        Moon: new
  
  Weather conditions during ToO triggers, i.e. during the time lost:
        ======================================
        CLR and seeing 0.5-1.2 (on guide star), Moon new

Time-Critical Aspects

• Observe ASAP since visitor compensation.

Special Execution Requirements

• Visitor mode compensation. Please execute asap.

Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
 on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?

• YES

Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
 Phase 2 Web Pages ?

• N/A

If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
 and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?

• N/A

Have you specified the S/N ratio at given wavelength in the User Comments
 field of each OB?

• N/A

Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
 not part of the Calibration Plan ?

• N/A

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

• N/A

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

• N/A

If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
 did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?

• N/A

If you need secondary guiding, are there suitable objects within 30 arcsec
 from your target ?
