General Description

Simple K-band imaging of the nucleus of very nearby galaxies: % targets,
 1 Ob per target.
The nucleus of these galaxies are bright  13 < K < 10, and the acquisition
 will be eassy: just move the nucleus about the center of the array

In all cases, the  nucleus of these galaxies is used for AO correction with the
 optical WFS: all are R < 15 mag 

DIT has been reviewed to avoid saturation and and to stay in the linear regime.
 We believe to be in the conservative side. Still, according with our previous experience
 with similar tagets with   NACO, these  DIT could perhaps be  increased by factors
 of 5  to even 10 in some cases.  Thus, it possible, please check if the selected
 DIT is optimal and if not,  readjust DIt X NDIT to optimise the exposure to  always
 keep below nonlinearity. Thanks !

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

We require good seeing (<0.8") and airmass <1.4. Our program will
 benefit if these parameters 
are lower than the specified values.

```
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 ?

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 have PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with PSF_ ?

```
N/A
```

If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation) ?

Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding Charts ?

Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view for each OB ?

Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages ?

If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
