Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
The finding charts are taken from 2MASS in the Ks band, the same filter
used to position the telescope (movetopixel).
All the guidestars are taken from USNO excepting that for NGC5363 (from GSC). The
position of the guider is NEG (as provided by guidecam) excepting for NGC3627, for
which it is POS.
Here I include the positions for the guidestars and their magnitudes.

The Ks magnitudes calculated from 2MASS images are as follows. First we give our
measured Ks magnitude in a square with side (a"). The following parenthesis corresponds
to the magnitude provided by ned for the central 14". The next column is the texp
in second calculated for the acquisition image.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints
Time-Critical Aspects
Special Execution Requirements
When the total time is greater than 1 hour for one OB, 2 or more OB have
been done. Please, concatenate the corresponding OBs in such cases (called a and
b, or a,b,c, and also those for NGC7285).

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
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 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 ?
If the provided finding chart is at a different wavelength than the observations,
did you clearly describe in the README file how to identify the target?
Did you specify a guide star brighter than V=12mag within a field of
r=5arcmin around the science target?
