General Description

• Long slit spectroscopy in the  J band.  A bright target (J<17) has
   been found within about 1 arcmin and the Position Angle has been choosed so as to
   have both the reference star and the target under the slit.
  
  For the acquisition, image DITs are 10 sec, as typically J=13 mag stars are within
   a few arcmin.
  
  Finding charts (SDSS r-band, unless stated otherwise) illustrate the slit on top
   of the reference star (labelled X in green) and the target (labelled A in green).
  
  Comments on specific OBs:
  
  OB ID 387694
  The Finding chart is from 2MASS (Jband). Note that the reference star is NOT the
   bright J=12.8 one.
  Since the reference star is too far from the target, please proceed as follows:
  - set up the required position angle first, so the slit is properly oriented 
  - then position the reference star 20 arcsec from the South East edge of the slit
   
  Since no offsets are applied, the target falls within the slit.
  
  OB ID 387705
  The Finding chart is from 2MASS (Jband). Note that the reference star is NOT the
   bright J=12.8 one.
  Since the reference star is too far from the target, please proceed as follows:
  - set up the required position angle first, so the slit is properly oriented 
  - then position the reference star 20 arcsec from the South East edge of the slit

  OB ID 387698
  Since the reference star is too far from the target, please proceed as follows:
  - set up the required position angle first, so the slit is properly oriented 
  - then position the reference star 20 arcsec from the South East edge of the slit
   
  Since no offsets are applied, the target falls within the slit.
  
  OB ID 387703
  Since the reference star is too far from the target, please proceed as follows:
  - set up the required position angle first, so the slit is properly oriented 
  - then position the reference star 20 arcsec from the South East edge of the slit
   
  Since no offsets are applied, the target falls within the slit.
  
  OB ID 387692
  Since the reference star is too far from the target, please proceed as follows:
  - set up the required position angle first, so the slit is properly oriented 
  - then position the reference star 20 arcsec from the South East edge of the slit
   
  Since no offsets are applied, the target falls within the slit.
  
  OB ID 387706
  Since the reference star is too far from the target, please proceed as follows:
  - set up the required position angle first, so the slit is properly oriented 
  - then position the reference star 20 arcsec from the South East edge of the slit
   
  Since no offsets are applied, the target falls within the slit.
