Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is an imaging run consisting in two observing blocks, each one covering
1 hour of obsering time. In the previous programe we planed to use Q filters in
one OB and B filters in the other OB. We are interested in doing photometry on a
protostar located at aplha=18:19:17.81 and delta=-20:40:47.74.
The first OB (Q-obs) was executed but we realized that we underestimated the
observing time. Therefore, we modified our observing program changing the remaining
OB named
B-obs to another OB named Q2-obs. In this new OB we plan to invest also 1 hour
of observing time but using only the Q2 filter (instead of three B filters) in
order to increase the exposure time for this filter. The target might appear faint.
Please note that we also modified a few parametres for Q2-obs (e.g. request seeing).
We provide two finding charts: one corresponds to the 2MASS k-band and the other
corresponds to the 8 micron Spitzer image (with a wavelength similar to the observing
wavelength of B filters).
In the finding charts we show the position of two possible guide stars: A (alpha:
18:19:21.355 and delta: -20:41:14.93) and B (alpha: 18:19:13.879 and delta: -20:40:21.65).
Our target is located approximately at half-way between these two stars. The coordinates
of star B are implemented in the OB's as the guide star coordinates. Note that these
stars appear faint at mid-IR.

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 the provided finding chart is at a different wavelength than the observations,
did you clearly describe in the README file how to identify the target?
Did you specify a guide star brighter than V=12mag within a field of
r=5arcmin around the science target?
