Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is to obtain high signal-to-noise blue to near-infrared spectra
of a sample of Herbig Ae/Be stars. apart fromo one object (ESO313-10), all objects
are bright enough to get high (100-150) SNR spectra at all wavebands.
The OBs start with a short STARE exposure in case bright emission lines saturate
the longer exposures later on.
Please note that the objects are variable, and although I have been careful in choosing
exposure times, it is not unlikely an object is in a bright state and saturates.
In that case, please amend exposure times accordingly.
In some cases 2 finding charts are provided. These are an optical image where nebulosity
dominates the DSS image, and a 2mass image in which the stars are better visible.

Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
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 specified the S/N ratio at given wavelength in the User Comments
field of each OB?
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 ?
