Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is observations of two unresolved eclipsing binaries, V35 and V61,
in the open cluster NGC 6791, to determine their cluster membership status from
radial velocity measurements.
The observations of V35 are completed, one epoch of V61 remains.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints
The target is at declination +37 and therefore always at high airmass.
Therefore the target can only be observed in a small time interval during the night,
when the airmass is lower than 2.7, and preferably lower than 2.5
Time-Critical Aspects
Special Execution Requirements
For the purpose of membership dertermination wavelength calibration accuray
is not critical. However, if the target turn out to be a cluster member, these observations
will be used, in combination with additional ones, to measure accurate masses of
the binary components from radial velocities. For that purpose wavelength accuracy
is important and therefore we have attached a ThAr calibration exposure to each
OB.
Special Calibration Information
ToO Information
ToO Activators List
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
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 specified the S/N ratio at given wavelength in the User Comments
field of each OB?
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 need secondary guiding, are there suitable objects within 30 arcsec
from your target ?
