General Description

This observation programme consists of narrow-band imaging of the Galactic
 compact HII region IRAS 12063-6259. Six filters will be used: NB 1.21, NB 1.28,
 NB 2.17, and NB 2.19 on the SW Hawaii arm; NB 3.21 and NB 3.28 on the LWI4 Aladdin
 arm. After each science observing block, the standard star Hip 64770 (13:16:26.2603,
 -63:58:25.567; spectral type F2 V) is observed immediately following, in the corresponding
 narrow-band filter. All SW observations are executed using predefined offsets to
 obtain sky images, while all LWI4 observations are in chopping mode with a chop
 throw of 15 or 20 arcseconds and chop position angle of 0 degrees. While the field
 of view for the NB 1.21, NB 1.28, NB 3.21, and NB 3.28 observationss are centered
 at 12:09:01.120, -63:15:54.70, the field of view for the NB 2.17 and NB 2.19 filters
 are centered at 12:09:01.120, -63:15:38.90 in order to avoid a bright source saturating
 the detector.
