General Description

Observing technique: The central region of 30 Dor is scanned in 13 OBs.
 These OBs are named OB1...OB13. In each OB a scan is performed which consists of
 2, 3, or 4 OOOS sequences (O=object, S=sky) with a DIT of 150s for each exposure.
 Each scan starts exactly at the given target position and progresses in steps of
 2.66 arcsec (with few exceptions). In this way a total exposure time of 3x150s is
 achieved for all objects which are covered by the scan. After every 3rd object exposure
 a sky exposure is taken. The cumulative offsets for this scanning procedure are
 given in the OB templates. Note that I have tried to give all positions with very
 high precision.

Finding charts: In the finding charts the complete set of OBs (scans) is indicated
 in light blue. For each OB, finding charts are provided for the IR and optical band.
 In these charts the target position (the start point of the scan) is highlited in
 red. The precise coordinates of this field are given at the top. The offset fields
 for each scan are highlited in dark blue.

Brightest targets: All point sources in the covered region have k>10.2mag. For
 the core of 30Dor k=8.9mag is given, but this is an extended object (d~5arcsec)
 consisting of many stars. Note that one foreground star with k=7.9mag lies very
 close to the first target field in OB1. This is the brightest object in the whole
 region, and it is intentionally omitted in our observations.
