Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
+ This program aims for carrying out a photometric monitoring campaign
for NGC4593 in 3 mid-IR filters.
+ All targets are the brightest objects in the FOV (presumably the only ones)
+ To achieve the necessary time coverage, one OB has to be executed in each lunation,
i.e. +/- 10 days around full moon. The OBs have been named and flagged according
to this requirement, indicating which OB to be carried out when.
+ Two calibrator OBs are provided for each science OB. Please execute these calibrator
OBs immediately before and/or after the science OB.
Waiver Requests
Critical Observing Condition Constraints
Time-Critical Aspects
+ For a useful monitoring campaign, one OB has to be executed each lunation,
i.e. +/- 10 days around each full moon in P84.
+ If possible, a constant spacing (approx. 28 days) should be followed
Special Execution Requirements
+ For each science OB, please execute the corresponding calibrator OBs
before and/or after the science target. The OBs are named in a way to easily recognize
which science OB should be executed when with what calibrator OBs. The naming scheme
is as follows:
Science target OB name scheme: SCI_NGC4593_FM[Date of full moon around which the
OB has to be executed]
Calibrator OB name scheme: CAL_NGC4593_FM[Date of full moon around which the
OB has to be executed]_[Calibrator Name]

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 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?
