General Description

• These VISIR images are to support our MIDI observations, which are scheduled
   in visitor mode on 28 Feb - 3 Mar 2010. Goals are (1) to obtain accurate photometry
   at 8.5 and 12 um to back-up (rather inaccurate) photometry with MIDI (to better
   calibrate MIDI visibility); (2) to check if there is any extended emission in the
   mid-IR for each target, by comparing the image with a PSF star image. Thus, we request
   to observe a PSF star right after the target. 
  
  Depending on the conditions in our MIDI run, we might have to switch to back-up
   targets, in which case the targets of these VISIR observations would have to be
   changed. Therefore, please execute these VISIR observations ONLY AFTER 2 Mar 2010.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• No critical conditions beyond defined in Constraint Set.

Time-Critical Aspects

• These images are to support our MIDI observations which are scheduled
   in visitor mode on 28 Feb - 2 Mar 2010. Depending on the conditions in this scheduled
   run, we might have to switch to back-up targets, in which case the targets of the
   VISIR observations would have to be changed. Therefore, please execute these VISIR
   observations ONLY AFTER 2 Mar 2010.

Special Execution Requirements

• Please execute each PSF/flux calibration star right after each target
   observation, namely:
  
    please execute CAL_PSF_H0557_VISIR084     right after H0557_VISIR084;
  
    please execute CAL_PSF_IRAS09149_VISIR084 right after IRAS09149_VISIR084;
  
    please execute CAL_PSF_IRAS13349_VISIR084 right after IRAS13349_VISIR084.
