General Description
This program aims to create an homogeneous spectral library (~i to K)
of brown dwarfs and ultra-cool dwarfs, at moderate resolution and good SNR.
The targets are usually moving at a few 0.1 arcsec/yr.
The finding charts include a (usually 2min x 2min) 2MASS J (to see the target: CIRCLE
and its proper motion) and DSS2-red (to see the reference star: SQUARE, if different
from the target) images. The proper motion vectors point to the 2010.0 position.
Proper motions of reference stars are requested to be small (<30mas/yr in each
direction) but the epoch is sometimes old.
Some targets have no known proper motion, for those shifts of up to 1" are to be
expected. In particular, 2M0453-1751, 2M0501-0010, 2M0632-5010, 2M1004-3335 are
to be centred with a blind offset.
Some targets have high proper motions and are to be centred with a blind offset,
which is variable with time. We provide here the offsets when they differ from the
2010.0 value by more than 0.1":

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 ?
